Advocating for Policy Change
Step Up Silicon Valley works with community leaders, local government officials, and the California State Legislature to encourage policy makers to pass specific legislation and regulations that will directly reduce poverty in our community. In order to enable self-sufficiency in our community, we promote policies that:
- Measure A: Yes on Affordable Housing
- Modernization of San Jose Business Tax
- San Jose Minimum Wage Increase
- Anti-Payday Lending
- CalFresh Senior Nutrition Benefits
- Elder Economic Self-Sufficiency Index
- National Opportunity and Renewal Act
