Introduction to our Policy Platform 

Wellbeing Economy Alliance California is a network of people and organizations who envision a society that benefits all people. In addition to our efforts at grassroots organizing, we advocate for changing policies at the local and state levels.

Creating new policies takes detailed policy work, but public pressure is essential.

2026 is a major election year. This gives us plenty of opportunities to make our preferences clear to people running for office.

We believe that many politicians put corporations and donors ahead of serving the people who elected them. WEAll California helps generate public pressure to get our elected officials to get creative in their solutions.

Our Policy Platform is a call to Californians to aim high in 2026:

• Let’s unlock our imagination of what we can ask for!
• Let’s bring together groups that are aligned!
• Let’s find ways to give anyone a chance to get their voice heard!

Our forthcoming California Policy Compendium will help you learn about possibilities and actions you can take. This guide will showcase organizations working to get legislation passed at the state level. These policies will be aligned with our platform – check it out below!

Sign up for our newsletter for announcements about other ways you can get involved throughout the year.  

We welcome your ideas and participation!
