On Monday, Governor Jerry Brown released his revisions to the 2012-2013 California State budget. Unfortunately, the Governor’s budget revealed that California is mired in a $15.7 billion budget deficit. Despite years of severe budget cuts to education, Health and Human Services (HHS), and other state programs—California’s budget remains out of balance as tax revenues dropped below expectations. To address this massive deficit, Governor Brown is proposing significant cuts to Health and Human Services programs including CalWORKs, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Medi-Cal and other safety-net programs that serve vulnerable individuals and families.

Each year, the SEARAC policy team reviews SEARAC's current policy priorities, and, after consulting with locally based community organizations and leaders across the country, identifies issues that will have significant impact on Southeast Asian Americans in the upcoming year. These issues are then incorporated into SEARAC's policy priorities which serve as a guide for SEARAC's policy work throughout the next year. Because approximately half the Southeast Asian American population in the United States resides in California, SEARAC also identifies California state specific policy priorities each year.
