The Bottom Line
It's Time to Raise the Baseline
Our new name is a commitment to a higher starting point for everyone—and to the work it will take to get there. Californians are doing their part. It’s time our policies did theirs. It’s time to raise the baseline.

Baseline Invests $75,000 in Grants for Bay Area Organizations Expanding Economic Opportunities for Low-Income Families
Baseline, formerly known as Golden State Opportunity, announced that it has invested $75,000 in grants for partner organizations in the Bay Area for the 2027 tax season.
The Bottom Line
CalEITC and Tax Credits work, but the Baseline Is Still Too Low.
This is how California’s tax credits get built and get stronger. Working people show up and share their reality, and lawmakers listen.
The Bottom Line
The American Dream Isn’t Dead. The Baseline Is Too Low.
Here in California, the fourth-largest economy in the world, 6.7 million people lived below the poverty line in 2024. Without safety-net programs, many of which Washington is threatening right now, another 2.5 million would join them.
News

The Bottom Line
