On May 29th, the Schools & Communities First initiative officially qualified for the November ballot! We submitted a historic 1.7 million signatures of support, an effort powered by the 300+ social justice, faith-based, education, labor and philanthropic organizations powering Schools & Communities First and the tens of thousands of volunteers, endorsers, and supporters throughout California.
5月29日，“学校与社区为首”计划正式获得参加11月投票资格！我们提交了史无前例的170万个支持签名，由300多个社会正义组织，信仰组织，教育机构，劳工和慈善组织提供支持，这些组织为“学校与社区为首”运动以及加州成千上万的志愿者，代言人和支持者提供支持。

Schools & Communities First will restore $12 billion every year for critical local services, essential workers, and schools by closing corporate tax loopholes comes at a time of unprecedented hardship throughout California. As school districts, local governments, and the state face historic budget shortfalls, one thing is clear: Schools & Communities First will be key to California’s recovery and reinvestment, and we simply can’t afford corporate tax loopholes at the expense of our state’s future.
如今在整个加州正遭遇前所未有的困境之际，“学校与社区为首”计划将通过弥补公司税收漏洞，每年为重要的本地社区服务，工人和学校增加120亿收入。由于学区，地方政府和州政府都面临着历史性的预算短缺，我们必须清楚意识到：“学校与社区为首”将是加州全面恢复和再投资的关键，而且我们根本无法承担因为一些公司的税收漏洞而牺牲了全加州的未来。
