Let Them Play CA

When Let Them Play CA was first started, we created a private Facebook Group where parents, athletes and coaches could share information pertaining to the goal of getting our student athletes back on the field / court / pool / course / etc.  As word began to spread, that group grew quickly.   We had some growing pains, that we're trying to correct, so that we stay on point with our mission.  Which is to LET THEM PLAY! We've made some changes in order to improve the way we spread our message.  We created this blog, which serves as a landing spot for our web URL  www.playca.org .  The idea here is to bring our mission statement to the forefront, so new people can immediately understand what we're trying to accomplish.  This blog has more of that crucial information up front for people to see.

Hey LTPCA! Great showing this weekend...with the press conference, the rallies, and the lawsuit...BIG TIME MOMENTUM!!! We are partnering with an organization called E Teams for our crowd funding. More details to come, though happening very soon! From a strategy standpoint, we are having significant discussions with Newsom’s team. We have a lot of work in front of us, though we are hopeful. It’s time for action! Please keep doing what you’re doing...calling elected officials, sending them emails, finding athletes to endorse our cause, reach out to local and national media. This group is incredibly creative. We’re inspired every day by your actions and messages. We’re not stopping until they’re playing!!!

Gavin Newsom to allow them back on the field. The coalition gathered on the Capitol steps for a "Let Them Play" rally, delivering letters from upwards of 10,000 California parents and athletes asking the governor to let them get back on the field. The   COVID-19   crisis has kept them from playing since last March. "These kids aren’t Democrat or Republican," said Brad Henley, co-founder of  the "Let Them Play CA" movement . "All they want to do is play. We have bipartisan support, almost a majority of the Assembly, in terms of bringing back youth sports.” Ze
