TANF
- Welfare Legislation Update
August 12.02
State Budget Stalemate Continues;
Welfare Bills Advance to Floor;
TANF Reauthorization
Reaches Critical Stage
The 2001-2002 legislative session
is winding to a close. It is scheduled to end on August
31, assuming the state budget is passed by that date.
The Senate returned from a summer recess on August 5
for the final four weeks; the Assembly had remained
in session throughout the recess because it had not
passed the budget and trailer bills sent by the Senate
before the upper house recessed in late June.

This
summer Welfare Reform legislation will be renewed.
We must make our voices heard so that more families
are not harmed by welfare reform.
We demand EDUCATION AND TRAINING,
CHILD CARE, JOBS, BENEFITS FOR IMMIGRANTS, and
A STRONG SAFETY NET.

$300 million Industry Opposes
Basic Oversight!!

for Justice in Hawaiian Gardens and Jerusalem
This bill addresses abuses of
the charitable bingo operations in the State of California.
The exploitation of labor under
the ruse of violating 'volunteer' and 'membership' criteria
as normally understood falls on the least protected
members of our society who are often undocumented workers
with few legal protections. On 3/19/02, MALDEF has brought
suit against one bingo operator, The Irving Moskowitz
Foundation. The Moskowitz foundation funds extreme right
wing settlers in the occupied territories especially
in Jeruslam. This bill is co-sponsored with other groups
including United Cerebral Palsey Association.
Interfaith Communities United for Justice Peace urges
its 60 constituent member organizations to immediately
fax (on letterhead) a letter of support for Senate Bill
1959.
