If you believe that health care is a human right and that every Californian should have access to quality, affordable and culturally competent health care, we invite you to join one of our networks. We are looking for diverse voices to join us and work with us to transform our health care system and achieve health equity.
We promise that we won’t ask you to sit on the sidelines and observe change happen. We’ll inspire, challenge and urge you to take action every month. Join our network by signing up to receive one of our monthly newsletters. Our newsletters will:
- Inspire you to take action on important policy issues. We’ll encourage you to share your personal stories, participate in research, oppose or support bills, write to your legislators, join our advocacy campaigns, and organize your communities—online and, once it’s safe, in real life.
- Keep you knowledgeable about issues that affect our communities’ health and well-being. We will explain new laws and their impact on your community. We’ll demystify complex administrative policies. We’ll introduce you to the most recent and groundbreaking resources, research and data published in California and nationwide. We’ll share breaking news and stories.
- Connect you to thousands of others who, like you, are passionate about championing health equity and racial justice. We’ll invite you to join our free webinars to learn about new opportunities, new bills, or changes in health coverage. We’ll encourage you to attend stakeholder meetings, represent your community at legislative hearings and attend our conferences. We’ll call on you to rally, protest and demonstrate with us.

SCRIPT: “Hello, my name is [NAME] and I am calling from [CITY]. Cuts to Medi-Cal proposed by Governor Newsom are discriminatory and must be rejected! Balancing the CA budget on the backs of immigrant families, people with disabilities, and older adults is unacceptable. The fourth largest economy in the world must ensure that our families and communities have the resources they need not only to survive, but to thrive. Please reject discriminatory cuts!”
