Say NO to AB 2664– CA Bill to Jail Protesters–Call Assembly Judiciary Committee Members
Please let members of the CA Assembly Judiciary Committee, chaired by single-payer advocate Ash Kalra(D-San Jose), know that you, along with the ACLU, oppose AB2664, a thinly veiled attempt to suppress protests of synagogues auctioning stolen Palestinian land.
AB2664 is expected to pass out of committee without objection or amendments next Tuesday. Please call the committee members (scroll for script).
Kalra (916) 319-2025 (D-San Jose), Macedo (916) 319-2033 (R-Chico), Bauer-Kahan (916) 319-2016 (D-Orinda), Bryan (916) 319-2055 (D-Los Angeles), Connolly (916) 319-2012 (D-Marin), Dixon (916) 319-2072 (D-Coastal Orange County), Harabedian (916) 319-2041 (D-Pasadena/Altadena), Pacheco (916) 319-2064 (D-Downey/Norwalk), Papan (916) 319-2021 (D-San Mateo), Sanchez (916) 319-2071 (R-Mission Viejo), Stefani (916) 319-2019 (D-Daily City, parts of SF), Chavez Zbur (916) 319-2051 (D-Santa Monica/Hollywood).
Script: I urge _________ to vote NO on AB 2664 when the assembly judiciary committee meets on Tuesday. This bill is an unconstitutional attempt to jail protesters at synagogues and churches hosting IDF soldiers and illegal auctions of stolen Palestinian land. AB2664 would also serve to shield churches accused of sex trafficking and financial fraud. Anyone approaching a congregant (within eight feet of a 100 foot bubble) with a flyer or educational sign could face a $10,000-25,000 fine and up to a year in jail. We already have the FACE Act of 1994, a federal law that prohibits the use of force and threats of force at religious worship. Vote NO on AB 2664.
The bill, authored by Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda), a member of the CA Legislative Jewish Caucus, would make it a crime, punishable of up to $10,000 and up to a year in jail on the first offense, $25,000 and up to a year in jail on the second offense, to approach anyone with a protest flyer or educational sign within eight feet of a 100-foot bubble around a religious institution and its adjacent parking lot or nearby public sidewalk. This could easily restrict speech at nearby private residences located next to a place of worship.
PLEASE SHARE THIS ACTION ALERT.
In solidarity,
Marcy WinogradCo-Chair, Central Coast Antiwar Coalition

May 1 all-day
More info to come about the Nevada City Mayday Demo The Mayday general strike is a nationwide labor and political action on May 1, 2026, calling for “No Work, No School, No Shopping” to protest government policies favoring billionaires over workers. The Mayday general strike, organized by groups including Indivisible and the May Day Strong coalition, is part of the broader No Kings movement opposing authoritarian policies and economic inequality in the United States. Scheduled for May 1, 2026, the strike aims to mobilize workers, students, and families across the country to demonstrate collective power and demand a government that prioritizes communities over billionaires. AnneLandmanBlog.com+3 Purpose and Goals The strike is designed as a tactical escalation beyond traditional protests, emphasizing an economic show of force. Participants are encouraged to refuse work, school, and shopping, signaling that ordinary people can challenge systemic power structures. The goals include: naked capitalism+1 Advocating for workers’ rights and economic justice Opposing authoritarian government policies Promoting expanded democracy and community investment Resisting private armies, ICE enforcement, and militarized policing 2 2 Sources Organizers and Support Key organizers include Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, who have previously led the No Kings protests, which drew millions nationwide. The strike also has backing from major unions such as the AFT, AAUP, NEA, Starbucks Workers United, and the UE, along with dozens of local labor councils and union locals. These groups are coordinating to replicate the success of the Minnesota General Strike in January 2026, where over 100,000 participants marched and hundreds of businesses closed in solidarity. AnneLandmanBlog.com+3 Scale and Participation The Mayday general strike is expected to involve thousands of cities and towns across the U.S., with coordinated actions including rallies, marches, and walkouts. The movement emphasizes collective action and solidarity, aiming to demonstrate the power of organized labor and community networks in shaping political and economic outcomes. [...]
