A new coalition of Californians, named Saving California, publicly announced a new effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom on Jan. 23.

The group launched the effort at a retail store in Los Angeles on Thursday, with several speakers scheduled as they planned to collect at least 50 signatures to begin the recall.
