No brand in California politics has ever had the staying power of Proposition 13, the 1978 tax cut that served as a primal scream from angry voters and became a symbol of their reluctance to pay more money for more government services. But four decades later, it is critics of the landmark ballot measure who are angry. Their demand to downsize Proposition 13 by excluding most commercial property from the law’s strict tax limits is all but certain to win a spot on the November 2020 ballot, an epic campaign clash that could alter California’s political landscape for years to come.
Schools and Communities First
KRC organizes a group of Korean American seniors (previously known as Community Health Promoters) who meet monthly to learn about community issues, take action, and bring change to the community. In August, we will learn about how KRC operates financially and our long-standing tradition of community-powered fundraising.
Join us at "Communities for Education," a social event on Saturday, August 10, 12pm at KRC's Crenshaw Office for everyone to learn more about the American education system and its relationship with different communities. Following our presentations on the theme topic, guests will have the opportunity to discuss with a panel of educational figures, activists, and students. Our social will also include free food, games, karaoke, a photo booth, and a raffle giveaway. Spend your summer right by engaging with the community and creating dialogues about the education system.
