Our Top Priority

Reining in Wall Street

For too long, the rules of Wall Street have been written by the bankers themselves. The result? Our economy collapsed. In 2010, that has to change.

CALPIRG-backed reforms are moving through Congress. The House passed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on December 11, and now the fight has moved to the Senate.

Build L.A. Transit Now!

Last fall, Angelenos agreed to fund 12 new subway and other transit projects with Measure R. But unless we get a little help to start up, these 12 projects could take 30 years!

We're calling for a loan to complete the 12 new subway and other transit project in the next 10 years, creating 165,000 jobs in the process. I think we all agree it would be better to create those jobs now — right when we need them most.
 
Please sign our letter to Sen. Boxer, asking her to secure us this loan.
