Join CPEHN as we explore the impact of upcoming legislation and the state budget on the health of California’s communities of color with a presentation of our first-ever Multicultural Health Legislative Agenda.  In a time where communities of color continue to be disproportionately threatened by lack of access, disparities in health, and budget cuts, it is even more important to become informed and engaged in policies that impact our communities’ health. 

Our Multicultural Health Legislative Agenda addresses hospital overcharging, universal health coverage for children, school food nutrition standards, refugee social services, the prohibition on the use of children as interpreters in medical settings, and state budget cuts to Medi-Cal.Join other community-based organizations, health advocates and policy experts to discuss what is at stake and how to take action to protect our future.
