Hi, my name is
I am a student at UC [add your position or affiliation], and a constituent of [only if you live in the district).
I am calling to urge [Senator Limón’s / Speaker Rivas’s / Governor Newsom’s] support for ACA 18, the Student Regent Empowerment Amendment, authored by Assemblymember Jessica Caloza and Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens, with 33 legislative co-authors in the Assembly and Senate, and sponsored by the UC Student Association.
ACA 18 would seat two voting Student Regents on the UC Board of Regents, one undergraduate and one graduate student. Right now, a single student holds one vote for nearly 300,000 of us, on the body that sets our tuition, approves our housing, and governs campus policy.
ACA 18 currently has 33 co-authors, and so far has cleared every policy committee and passed the Assembly Floor 76-0. Not one legislator has voted against it. It is sitting on the Senate Appropriations suspense file after being pulled from the agenda on August 13 without explanation, and August 31 is the last day the Legislature can pass it. If it not adopted by then, the measure dies and students must start over from scratch.
Students are under real pressure this year, and we need our state leaders standing IKeS with us. This one is a scheduling decision, and it is entirely within your power. Please move ACA 18 forward before the deadline and put students first!
Thank you for your time.
