___________________________________________________________________

State Budget Cuts, Health Care Reform and Ward Connerly’s Information Ban Ballot Initiative. Major health policy decisions are being made that have enormous impact on the health of communities of color.  Cuts to health programs in the state budget, health care reform, including universal health care, and the Ward Connerly Initiative, which will ban the collection of race and ethnicity data, are issues that require communities of color to be involved in the dialogue occurring at the state level. Join the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN), a statewide multicultural health advocacy organization, as we bring together experts to discuss the implications of these issues on communities of color and actions we can take to address our health needs.

Presenters:
• Ellen Wu, CPEHN
• Angela Gilliard, Western Center on Law and Poverty
• Anthony Wright, Health Access California
• Sarah Mercer, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)
• Marty Martinez, CPEHN

Roundtable Discussion: There will be time for discussion among participants and the speakers to develop action items and recommendations for advocacy work for and by communities of color.
