We had over 100 participants on yesterday's All-Network Call, where we took a deep dive into the CA state budget with
@calbudgetcenter.org. With federal cuts to health care from HR1 looming, we're mobilizing now to ensure next year's budget gets balanced without further cuts to care.

CPEHN proudly supported SB 81 because health care spaces are for healing - not fear.

"What keeps me going is living to the maximum without apology." Today, we celebrate Alice Wong, a fearless health equity advocate who passed away this week after a lifetime of work fighting for access, visibility, and electoral power for people with disabilities.

With federal health cuts looming, state policymakers must continue to hold the health industry accountable on costs, say CPEHN ED Kiran Savage-Sangwan & @healthaccess.bsky.social ED @thewallner.bsky.social in this @calmatters.org op-ed.

A recent analysis shows communities of color maintain the same representation under Prop 50. Current federal leaders haven't stood up for the voting rights of communities of color. Have you submitted your ballot yet? Let us know!

Who represents us in Congress matters. CA Republican members of Congress recently voted for the largest health care cuts in history, and we will pay the price. Learn more about how Prop 50 impacts health care here: https://shorturl.at/6o9CF

Prop 50 was placed on the ballot by the CA Legislature as a response to Republican-led states (like Texas, Florida), directed by Trump, are redrawing their congressional maps to give an advantage to Republicans & provide the party with more seats in Congress in 2026.
November 2, 2025 at 12:20 AM
A “Yes” vote on Prop 50 means that California would use new, legislatively drawn congressional district maps starting in 2026. After the 2030 US Census, the CA Citizens Redistricting Commission would draw new maps. A “No” vote leaves the current process and maps in place.

All trick. No Treat. Trump and House Republicans Shut Down the Entire Federal Government to Deny Us Health Care. #fightforourhealth

As ICE raids terrorize our communities, the role of community health workers, promotoras, is more vital than ever. From connecting people to preventative health services to ensuring communities know our rights, CHW/P/Rs are trusted health guides. https://bit.ly/3J6pZpb
