California Partnership Platform for 2007:

**Promote a budget that reflects the values and needs of all Californians, 

  and restores the state and federal government’s human infrastructure 

  needs.

1.  Defend and act against proposed cuts in the state budget in the areas of 

     welfare, healthcare and childcare.

2.  Defend and act against cuts in welfare, healthcare and childcare programs 

    due to federal law changes.

3.  Advocate for parent-friendly policies in the state implementation of the federal 

    welfare changes, including seeking policies to increase access to educational 

    and employment opportunities.

**Promote a proactive agenda that will expand health coverage, especially

   to all of California’s children, and create building blocks for universal 

   coverage.

**Protect the right of all no-income and low-income Californians to 

   healthcare, housing, food security, workplace protections and 

   educational and income equity.

The following principles help to guide CAP's work..

CAP supports members’ bills in areas of welfare, healthcare, childcare, food 

security, and immigrant rights.

Recognizing the importance of tax fairness, civic engagement, racial equity and 

leadership development in accomplishing our priorities, CAP highlights these 

activities in all the work we do.
