There's a week left for the Governor to sign bills. Phone lines open at 9am on Monday, make those calls to ask him to sign SB 79 to bring more housing near transit in California. In the meantime you can also send a message at www.gov.ca.gov/contact/
Update: had a friend just call and said there was zero wait time to talk to a live person and the whole call only took 30 seconds.
Call 916-445-2841 NOW to support SB79 and building more housing near transit
