After Donald Trump’s presidential election win this month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called a special session to meet with legislators to “protect California values.”

Newsom said he aims to “protect civil rights, reproductive healthcare, climate policies and immigrant communities” from another Trump administration, according to the governor’s website.

This is the first of many upcoming actions put forward by the Newsom administration as they partner with the state legislature to protect California, according to their website.

Brody Ottinger, an 18-year-old math major and one of the 10 people interviewed at Cosumnes River College about this topic, said he thinks Newsom’s special session is a good idea.

“I think it’s wise to set clear things that you want to protect before any changes happen,” Ottinger said.

Breanna Vang, a 17-year-old psychology major, said she thinks it is necessary to call for a special session in times like this.

“Honestly, I feel that it’s good that he called for a special session because it shows that he cares for people in California,” Vang said.

Twenty-one-year-old engineering major Gabriel Her said he feels indifferent about the situation.

“But if someone is fighting for us to have the right resources, it makes me feel better since someone is trying to improve the situation,” Her said.

Kevin Xiong, who works as an evaluator in admissions, also said he feels indifferent about Newsom’s call for the special session.

“I have other things to worry about, and there is really nothing I can do about it,” Xiong said. “I just choose not to be involved in politics and things like that.”

Zamir Alshabazz, a 25-year-old psychology major, said he can see both sides of the issue.

“I think he’s just trying to get it together,” Alshabazz said. “He’s just trying to focus on what matters.”

Stephany Pueyo, an 18-year-old biology major, said she supports Newsom’s action.

“I think this would impact my life greatly because Newsom is doing a good thing by protecting my rights,” Pueyo said. “I feel safer in California.”

According to the governor’s website, Senate President pro-Tempore Mike McGuire (D-North Coast) said “California had come too far and accomplished too much to simply surrender.”

Ottinger agreed with these concerns.

“I believe that at least the Trump party, maybe not Trump himself, but the party has made it clear that they will want to reduce or remove many policies,” Ottinger said.

When asked how it would impact her life, Vang said it would be good because her values and rights would be protected from the Trump administration.

“I am very strongly for protecting reproductive healthcare, climate policies, and immigrant communities,” Vang said. “Without these things, I feel like we are going backward in time, which makes no sense to me because instead, we should be already past these things, making better changes.”
