My mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, came to the United States from India at 19. She taught me and my sister, Maya, about courage and determination.

It is thanks to her that I am ready to lead us forward.

I vote because our children’s futures depend on it.

Children can’t vote, but we can - and must!

Remember to #VoteKids TOMORROW.

[The Children’s Partnership (TCP) #KeepKidsCovered @KidsPartnership]

Have you voted? Remember to #vote with children's health equity in mind!
✅ YES Prop 5 ✅ YES Prop 33 🛑 NO Prop 35

ICYMI, here's our 2024 #VoterGuide: https://t.co/4U3rFnoQzH #Prop35 #NoProp35 #YesProp35

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.

It's long overdue.

[California Pan-Ethnic Health Network @CPEHN]

Let's be clear. #Prop35 does more harm than good, threatens the health care equity advancements that the legislature & community advocates worked hard to achieve.

Don't believe us? Believe the state's prominent newspapers who all agree... Voters should vote ❌NO on Prop 35!❌

[Edwin Park @EdwinCPark]

Must-read from @CitizenCohn on how #Medicaid "could get hammered" in a second Trump Administration

[Shimica Gaskins @Shimica_G]

Thank you for joining us and uplifting the need to support our collective fight for reparations that address the systemic inequities that are faced by Black families with young children. ✊🏾 As an auntie, I’m not gonna touch on that last part either 🤭

Culture is healing.

Exciting to see @CMSGov make clear the value of traditional healing practices for indigenous communities.

Let’s keep this up and do more to center the strengths of culture in health care delivery for all communities. #healthequity #healthjustice

[Chiquita Brooks-LaSure @BrooksLaSureCMS]

For the first time, @CMSGov is allowing #Medicaid and #CHIP to reimburse traditional health care practices provided by @IHSgov, Tribal facilities, and urban Indian organizations in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Oregon. https://t.co/dr3vIyASU2

[Mayra E Alvarez @mayraealvarez]

Excited to join @ChildrenFirstCo in my hometown of San Diego and be part of the movement to make child care more affordable for every family!

Running into my @KidsPartnership Board member Darielle Blevins and meeting Zoom buddies was a bonus! #WeChooseCare

[Wendy Cervantes @WendyDC5]

Oral arguments are being made in #DACA case now, currently discussing the impact to both DACA recipients and their >250k children who now rely on DACA for their well-being. More on impact to kids in our amicus brief: https://t.co/43INys6YO8 #HomeisHere

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing #SB1289 (@GeneralRoth) County Medi-Cal Call Center Reporting!

Californians are ready for Medi-Cal renewals to be simple & fast. Health coverage is peace of mind for families & this is a step forward. #KidsHealth #KeepKidsCovered

[Children Thrive Action Network (CTAN) @LetKidsThrive]

The Birthright Citizenship of 2024 Act introduced today is another example of a hateful, xenophobic bill aimed at undermining the well-being of children.

[Mayra E Alvarez @mayraealvarez]

Thank you @MoniqueLimonCA for your leadership!

Medical debt hinders #economicequity for far too many families and #SB1061 is an important step in the right direction!

[Health Access CA @healthaccess]

Now that #SB1061 (@MoniqueLimonCA), has been signed into law by @CAgovernor, Californians can rest assured that whatever care they might need, medical debt can no longer impact their credit reports. Thanks to:
@CALPIRG @AGRobBonta @CalNurses @consumercal @NCLC4consumers

Representation matters.

Thank you @ICRicardoLara for continuing to do all you can to support all our families!

We are in this work together. #Health4All
#childrenofimmigrants

[The Children’s Partnership (TCP) #KeepKidsCovered @KidsPartnership]

Powerful 60 seconds in the #Health4All convo btwn @RicardoLara4CA & @mayraealvarez.

“We were those kids,” Lara says about youth who went to the CA Legislature to win #HealthCoverage for immigrant communities.

The power of youth fighting for health equity is unstoppable! #TCP30
