The road to protecting Altadena

SB 1090 cleared both Assembly committees. Next stop: the Assembly floor.

On July 1, SB 1090 passed both Assembly policy committees — powered by thousands of calls from Altadena. During the summer recess we'll keep strengthening the bill; in August it faces the full Assembly floor. Here's how to help right now.

📞 Do this now — call the Governor
(916) 445-2841
“Please ask Governor Newsom to grant an executive order protecting Altadena's Eaton Fire recovery — pause the by-right SB 9 / SB 1123 lot-splitting before families can return. Thank you.”
🗓️ What's next
Assembly floor · August
Recess first — we'll refine the bill's affordability and vesting language. Then the full floor vote. We'll need another round of calls; stay ready.
Together, Altadena called Sacramento — and it worked.

THANK YOU, ALTADENA

We won this round

On July 1, SB 1090 passed both Assembly policy committees — Housing & Community Development and Local Government — thanks to thousands of calls from our community. The work isn't over: over the recess we'll strengthen the bill's affordability and vesting language, then it heads to the Assembly floor in August. See the results and what's next.

STEP 2 · CALL THE GOVERNOR

Ask Gov. Newsom for an Executive Order

The fastest protection of all. The Governor extended SB 9 relief to fire-hazard zones in the burn areas by executive order (N-32-25) — but the hazard map left most of Altadena out. He can protect the entire Eaton Fire area with a stroke of the pen — and unlike SB 1090, an order can reach back to the speculative subdivisions already filed since the fire. Two minutes:

📞 Call the Governor: (916) 445-2841 ✉ Message the Governor's office →
What to say (30 seconds):
  • “I'm calling to ask Governor Newsom to protect Altadena's recovery from the Eaton Fire.”
  • Please grant an executive order protecting the Altadena / Eaton Fire disaster recovery area.
  • It would pause the by-right SB 9 / SB 1123 lot-splitting that lets out-of-town developers carve burned lots into up to ten units before families can even return.
  • A community still grieving and rebuilding shouldn't be the easiest place in the state to subdivide.
  • “Please act now. Thank you.”
