Unaccompanied immigrant children in California are still being asked to face immigration court alone—often in a language they don’t speak, after surviving trauma and long journeys. The Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Program (CHIRP) pairs these kids with attorneys and social‑service providers who help them enroll in school, access health care and food, and navigate complex legal systems with dignity and safety.

CHIRP’s current funding is temporary and at risk. Advocates are calling on state leaders to include stable, multi‑year funding (around $33 million) for CHIRP in the upcoming California budget so children are not left without critical support.

You can help in under 5 minutes:

• Call your California Assemblymember and State Senator and ask them to fully fund CHIRP and make it a budget priority.

• Share this action with friends, family, and community groups.

• Follow and boost organizations like Acacia Center for Justice and local immigrant‑rights groups who are leading this fight.

When we fund CHIRP, we’re choosing to protect children, keep families together, and live up to California’s values of fairness and dignity for all.

Call Assembly members to pass California State Assembly Bill No. 1537, and text your friends to build action.

Gov. Newsom signed most, but not all, of our LGBTQ+ defense bills. Tell him how you feel about it!

Write to urge Governor Newsom to sign SB 42 - strengthen our democracy by legalizing public financing of campaigns everywhere in California and empowering voters!

Write to urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 554, which enables PReP access, into law.

Governor Newsom has been shaky on protecting the LGBTQ+ community. Urge him to sign bills protecting our loved ones!

Republicans are busy rolling back federal non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people, so it is important that we in California pass our own. It’s almost end of session and these bills MUST pass.

AB 49 was introduced as part of a broader effort to safeguard immigrant communities in light of intensified deportation measures under the Trump administration. Previously, federal guidelines designated schools as “sensitive locations,” making them largely off-limits for routine immigration enforcement. However, in January 2025, the Trump administration revoked these protections, allowing immigration officers greater access to schools and other community spaces.

Thank State Senator Scott Wiener for proposing SB627, which would require all law enforcement officials in California to have exposed faces and wear identification. 

We can’t allow the Republicans to steal the next election. Call State Senator Wiener, and your Assemblymember (Haney or Stefani) and tell them that we need to perform mid-decade redistricting in California!

Indivisible is calling on every Democratic trifecta state to move forward with their own plans for a mid-decade redistricting plan. It’s time to fight fire with fire.

As of 2024 San Francisco was home to 50 billionaires, the highest per-capita level of any city in the world.  A wealth tax affecting only these top earners would create lasting revenue and prevent the kinds of cuts that are about to impact our city. Tell your representatives to support a wealth tax.

No Secret Police Act: What You Can Do

The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, located near San Francisco, has become infamous nationwide for its history of rampant sexual abuse and unsafe conditions. Our allies at Bay Resistance are asking Indivisible SF members to reach out to more state officials to oppose the reopening of FCI Dublin as an ICE detention center.

ICE is considering reopening the notorious FCI Dublin federal prison as an immigration detention center. Our state and local officials MUST publicly and forcefully oppose it.
