Those Voices Never Listened to by the California Legislature
The Fight to Protect Our Children From the Evils of The State of California
Stopping the “SMARTER” plan.
Below is the run down of the California “Smarter” plan proposed by California. We must stop the plan in order to save our children.
What SMARTER stands for
We’re using the lessons of the last two years to prepare for future COVID-19 surges or variants.
Read The SMARTER Steps one-page summaryPDF.
SMARTER stands for:
- Shots – Vaccines are the most powerful weapon against hospitalization and serious illness.
- Masks – Properly worn masks with good filtration help slow the spread of COVID-19 or other respiratory viruses.
- Awareness – We will continue to stay aware of how COVID-19 is spreading, evolving variants, communicate clearly how people should protect themselves, and coordinate our state and local government response.
- Readiness – COVID-19 is not going away and we need to be ready with the tools, resources and supplies we will need to quickly respond and keep public health and the healthcare system well prepared.
- Testing – Getting the right type of tests—PCR or antigen—to where they are needed most. Testing will help California minimize the spread of COVID-19.
- Education – California will continue to work to keep schools open and children safely in classrooms for in-person instruction.
- Rx – Evolving and improving treatments will become increasingly available and critical as a tool to save lives.
The SMARTER Plan is not just for COVID-19. We can use these strategies and systems for future emergencies. We’ll improve the SMARTER Plan as we learn what works.
How we’ll move forward
COVID-19 will remain with us for the foreseeable future. The SMARTER Plan focuses on how we manage that reality.
We’ve learned a lot over the last two years. We know what we need to:
- Minimize the strain on our healthcare system
- Keep staff and the public safe
- Keep businesses open and schools in person
We will keep California moving by:
- Increasing vaccination rates especially among kids
- Ensuring we can quickly deploy staff, personal protective equipment (PPE), and resources to hospitals and communities
- Quickly matching patients up with effective treatments
- Tracking cases to address spikes as we see them and quickly identify new variants
- Building our own supply chain for tests and keeping stockpiles of masks and PPE
SMARTER builds on California’s successes. It is flexible by design so we can respond quickly as the virus changes.
We can move forward with the confidence that we can:
- Respond to whatever COVID-19 has in store
- Keep people healthy and out of hospitals, which will keep California open
