AHS sends a heartfelt thank you to the CA Assembly and Senate for including $30 million for the Stop the Hate program in the 2026 CA budget! The Stop the Hate program funds AHS’ Community Healing Unit, which provides comprehensive healing support to hundreds of survivors of hate and violence.
We applaud the leadership of Senator John Laird and Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel during the budget process. We also appreciate legislative champions including Assemblymember Mike Fong, Assemblymember Corey Jackson, Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen, Assemblymember Alex Lee, and Speaker Robert Rivas, as well as Senator Monique Limón, Senator Aisha Wahab, and Senator Christopher Cabaldon, and the entire AAPI Legislative Caucus, for your leadership in taking a stand against hate in CA.
