This proposed ballot initiative seeks to impose a one-time 5% tax on net worth over $1 billion for California residents. We are gathering signatures until June 2026 to place this measure, aimed at funding healthcare via a 2026 Billionaire Tax Reserve Fund, on the November 2026 ballot.

Divest Tesla
Divest California Pensions from Tesla
California's statewide public pension funds hold billions of dollars in Tesla stock. As beneficiaries of CalSTRS and CalPERS as well as California taxpayers, we are organizing to divest our public pension funds from Tesla. Our public pensions should not be funding Musk's assault on our jobs, our state and our democracy.
