In these turbulent times, the role of states in safeguarding fundamental rights has never been more crucial. It is great to see California's proactive attempts to protect its citizens from Donald Trump's agenda of federal overreach on certain issues like climate action and health care access.
California's choice to resist potential policies that are threatening to its citizens is very necessary. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney Rob General Bonta's resistance to such harmful policies is inspiring, especially in light of successful challenges to clean air standards and abortion access.
As an international student in California, I've come to appreciate the values that make this state unique, including its commitment to environmental protection, inclusivity and progressive policies, which could be jeopardized by former President Trump's plans.
His plans threaten California's clean air standards and immigration protections, affecting families, communities and the very quality of life that defines this state. I urge Californians and fellow students to contact representatives and support local efforts.
