So excited be a resident of the first state to propose #Health4All regardless of immigration status. Now is the time: the link between healthcare and our shared prosperity has never been clearer.

[California Immigrant Policy Center @CALimmigrant]

We're not crying, you are!!🥺

For almost a decade we have been fighting for #Health4All w/ you, our coalition partners, & legislative champions @SenMariaEDurazo @drarambulaAD31 @ICRicardoLara ✊🏽

Now, we need to get this through our legislature, signed, and implemented! #Palante
