Church Leaders Kick Off Letter-Writing Campaign

On Sunday, a Pasadena Episcopal rector and an assistant Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles kicked off a community-letter writing effort aimed at convincing state legislators to change tax laws to balance the state’s budget rather than reduce services to the poor.

Rector Ed Bacon of All Saints Church and Bishop Sergio Carranza, who is a former bishop of the Diocese of Mexico, signed letters urging elected officials  “to balance the tax codes and close upper-class loopholes instead of cutting employment, education and essential services to vulnerable populations.”
