Firefighters should not have to do more with less.
After years of being under-resourced, our fire department is facing growing demand, longer response times, and the threat of deeper cuts like station closures.
Block the Cuts and Build Long Beach invests in fire safety and emergency response so first responders have the staff, equipment, and infrastructure they need to protect our communities.

Here’s how the measure works: Most residents would not pay this tax.
- Renters do not pay
- Homeowners earning under $250,000 are exempt
- Large commercial properties and industries pay their fair share
