Speakers will also address the extent to which the new standards accurately represent diverse communities\, and the work that remains to be done. \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/49pWyp6 \nSpeakers:\nIgnatius Bau\, Health Equity Consultant\nSeciah Aquino\, Latino Coalition for a Healthy California\nAmin Nash\, Arab American Civil Council\nDaniel Torres\, California Health and Human Services Agency\nAndrew Lee\, Southeast Asia Resource Action Center \n \nThis event is now over.\nTo read the summary of the webinar and Q&As from the panelists\, click here. \nTo view the slides from the presentation\, click here.  URL:https://cpehn.org/event/webinar-understanding-the-new-federal-demographic-data-standards/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240528T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240528T110000 DTSTAMP:20240820T235313Z CREATED:20240820T235313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240820T235313Z UID:11443-1716890400-1716894000@cpehn.org SUMMARY:Press Conference: Governor Newsom's Proposal to Eliminate In-Home Support Services (IHSS) for Seniors and Disabled Undocumented Immigrants DESCRIPTION:ZOOM PRESS CONFERENCE \nREGISTER HERE \nIn the 2025- 2026 May Budget Revision\, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed eliminating the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) benefit for seniors and disabled undocumented immigrants. This critical program serves thousands of Californians and would be taking away services for some of the state’s most needy based solely on immigration status\, a move that the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN) and other health and disability rights groups strongly oppose. \n“These services allow seniors and people with disabilities to meet their basic needs at home\, rather than be institutionalized or suffer without care\,” said Kiran Savage-Sangwan\, Executive Director of CPEHN. “Farmworkers\, construction workers\, and other essential undocumented workers built\, fed\, and supported California for decades. We cannot turn our backs on them now.” \nWe believe it is unacceptable to balance the state’s budget on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable Californians. Rather than eliminating programs that impact the state’s poorest residents\, we urge the Legislature to consider more progressive solutions to ensure we have the resources of all Californians. \nWe want to give journalists and members of the public a chance to hear stories from impacted families and speak with experts and advocates about what the loss of the IHSS program for undocumented Californians could mean for communities of color in California. \nWHEN: Tuesday\, May 28\, 10 a.m. \nWHERE: https://cpehn-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ATO5NIQORMad8azmhuidjQ \nWHAT: Virtual Press Conference Discussing the Impact of the Loss of the In-Home Supportive Services Program for Undocumented Californians \n\nWHO: Impacted community members and families\, CPEHN\, Health Access\, Western Center for Law & Poverty\, Justice In Aging\, Disability Rights California\, California Immigrant Policy Center and SEIU California URL:https://cpehn.org/event/press-conference-governor-newsoms-proposal-to-eliminate-in-home-support-services-ihss-for-seniors-and-disabled-undocumented-immigrants/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240530T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240530T190000 DTSTAMP:20240820T235025Z CREATED:20240820T235025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240820T235025Z UID:11440-1717084800-1717095600@cpehn.org SUMMARY:Community Resilience: Uniting for Mental Health Equity in San Diego County DESCRIPTION:California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN)\, Disability Rights California (DRC) and The San Diego LGBT Community Center (The Center) are hosting a community conversation on recent mental health policy changes in San Diego. \nEvent Agenda: \n\nLandscape Analysis: Explore the current mental health landscape\, recent policies including SB 43\, CARE Court\, and Proposition 1\, and the implications of these policies for communities of color\, the LGBTQ community\, and individuals with disabilities.\nSmall Group Discussions: Engage in dialogue\, sharing reactions\, concerns\, and strategies with fellow regional community organizations and members to preserve community care.\n\nEvent Details: \nDate: Thursday\, May 30th \nTime: 4:00PM to 7:00PM \nLocation: The San Diego LGBT Center 3909 Centre St\, San Diego\, CA 92103 \nRegister for the San Diego Community Conversation here! \nQuestions?

Reusch also highlighted a recently released report and survey by Community Catalyst which shows there is broad national\, bipartisan support (83%) for adding adult dental as an EHB. \nDMHC Director\, Mary Watanabe shared details on California’s joint public process with the Administration and Legislature for updating the state’s EHBs. The state must submit its proposed changes to the U.S. Health and Human Services Agency\, by May 2025 in order for the changes to go into effect in 2027. The next public hearing is scheduled for August 6\, 2024\, by the Senate and Assembly Health committees. \nWatch the webinar recording here. \nKey Links: \nSpeaker bios: \n\nColin Reusch: https://communitycatalyst.org/people/colin-reusch/\nMary Watanabe: https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/AbouttheDMHC/LeadershipTeam.aspx\n\nEssential Health Benefits/Public Comment: \n\nAugust 6\, 2024: Joint Hearing Assembly and Senate Health: Essential Health Benefits Information on the Hearing on 8/6/24\nJune 27\, 2024: DMHC Public Meeting Materials/EHB: Essential Health Benefits Meeting (ca.gov)\nCommunity Catalyst’s guide to the EHB benchmarking timeline: https://communitycatalyst.box.com/s/7si5f0v98e73oohw491cdvuid0ppmexx\n\nOral Health Disparities/Access to Dental Care: \n\nCPEHN’s most recent report on oral health equity: https://cpehn.org/publications/addressing-the-root-dismantling-systemic-barriers-to-oral-health-equity/\nCommunity Catalyst’s polling research (shows strong support for adding adult dental to EHBs): https://communitycatalyst.org/news/new-polling-voters-want-policymakers-to-do-more-to-address-health-and-economic-justice-make-health-care-more-affordable/\nCommunity Catalyst’s talking points on adding adult dental to EHB: https://communitycatalyst.box.com/s/az71077j731qywx36omeih25f3c05bfv URL:https://cpehn.org/event/test/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260519T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260519T120000 DTSTAMP:20260512T172246Z CREATED:20260512T172246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T172246Z UID:14688-1779184800-1779192000@cpehn.org SUMMARY:Budget Advocacy Rally 2026 DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 19th\, CPEHN and the Health4All Coalition are bringing together community members\, advocates\, and partners at the State Capitol (Area 27\, N Street between 12th and 13th Streets) to stand up and speak out for the care our communities deserve. \n\n\n\nThis is our chance to make sure the state budget reflects our values of care\, dignity\, and access for all\, NOT cuts or exclusions. \n\n\nMeals (breakfast and lunch) and Spanish interpretation will be provided.
