CAPS was the former branch of the Zero Population Growth (ZPG) organization.[2] OverviewIts aim is to help advance state policies and programs designed to stabilize the population at a level which they feel "will preserve a good quality of life for all Californians".[3] It asserts that the current growth of population is "unsustainable" and contributes to a growing strain on the environment and infrastructure.{{fact|date=April 2019}} ImmigrationCAPS supports immigration reduction. In 1993, CAPS filed a lawsuit against Hewlett Packard alleging that HP was violating California labor laws and paid residents of India who came to the U.S. below-market wages as contract programmers. The lawsuit was first publicized on CBS's "60 Minutes". CAPS claimed that such wage practices would drive down wages for U.S. workers.[4] CAPS ultimately lost the lawsuit.[5] Notes1. ^Name change, March 5, 1986, California Secretary of State. 2. ^Coates A.
