The first one has a filled-in form for contacting your representatives; it was easily adapted to contact them about the other two as well. Thanks to [personal profile] fresne for bringing these to my attention.

AB 2054, the Community Response Initiative to Strengthen Emergency Systems (CRISES) Act, arranges funds for grants awarded to community-based organizations that replace duties, such as mental health crisis response, that are usually taken on by police. Act here: https://allianceforbmoc.org/crises-act.

ACA5, which basically re-legalizes affirmative action in CA. The language of the bill itself sounds kind of scary --you want me to do WHAT to discrimination protection??-- but it's essentially a repeal of Prop 209, which made affirmative action illegal in publicly funded institutions. The CA NAACP is asking Californians to contact their reps in support. Act here: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/endorse-aca-5?fbclid=IwAR3oVGV6nrdjSDPuMcZYbMg3XVjl2-aH2TNdFzmVbVb_gtKqv9FN-oDA6Mo

ACA6, which would restore voting rights to individuals on parole, essentially means that someone just out of prison could immediately vote again. Yay voting rights. Email your reps for this one!

Note: "ACA" means it's a CA state constitution amendment, so you should definitely contact both your state senators and your assemblymembers, while support for AB 2054 should go only to your assemblymember.
