Economic Security Project

Bottom line

• The Economic Security Project (ESP) is a national organization. Economic Security California (ESCA) is its California state affiliate (ESP launches Economic Security California 2024-01-30 (web)). As “Economic Security California Action”, it co-sponsored SB-53 and calls CalCompute “a public option for cloud computing”.

Why they matter

• Economic Security California Action co-sponsored SB-53 and frames CalCompute as “a public option for cloud computing” (Wiener SB-53 expansion release 2025-07-09).
• The group says computing power for advanced AI “is dominated by just three companies: Amazon, Google, and Microsoft”. It says CalCompute “will provide a public option, dilute this concentrated market” (ESP Governor signs SB-53 release 2025-09-29 (web)).
