As part of our systems change work, Rubicon staff attorneys write letters to policymakers in support of or in opposition to bills that could affect our participants and neighbors. In 2022, our legal team advocated on behalf of our communities in response to 25 bills in the CA State Legislature, or on average one bill every two weeks. From those efforts, 53% of the bills Rubicon supported were signed into law, and 100% of the bills Rubicon opposed did not get signed into law.
