"California is the best place in America to create. For 100 years, we’ve been the home for storytelling and storytellers. Together we built a creative community that includes unrivaled cast, crews, craftspeople, infrastructure, and technology. Robust tax credits and other incentives. The best culture," the ad says. "Most importantly, we share your values. So now, it’s time to choose."
"Over the past several years, the legislatures of states like Georgia and Oklahoma have waged a cruel assault on essential rights," Newsom, who is reportedly quietly mulling a 2024 presidential run, wrote. "Now, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s abhorrent decision overturning Roe v. Wade, those same states are quickly moving to strip reproductive freedoms."
