Telework reduced leased office space by 20%, an estimated savings of $84.7 million per year, and saved nearly 393,000 metric tons of carbon emissions during the 26 months tracked. If you agree that returning state workers to office 4 days a week is fiscally irresponsible and environmentally detrimental ask Gov. Newsom and elected officials to rescind the RTO portion of Executive Order N-22-25.

Sample message to Gov. Newsom (edit if you wish):
California has implemented groundbreaking policies like Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, and AB 1279/SB 100, committing to carbon neutrality by 2045 and a 100% clean electricity grid. The state has also prioritized quality of life through efforts like CalAIM, expanding access to mental health care and social support, and by promoting remote work during and after the COVID-19 pandemic as a cost-effective, sustainable, and humane solution.
Telework reduced emissions and erosion of the infrastructure while helped address housing, cost of living, and regional inequities. State workers not only met the needs to keep California going, they were more efficient.
Please rescind the return to office (RTO) portion of Executive Order N-22-25. Let departments implement RTO policies that best meet their needs to serve Californians.
