🗣️Californians can’t afford to lose Medi-Cal flexibilities. Why would we take away the innovations that we have worked so hard for, & that create health equity?
Speak it, Whitney Francis! Thank you @Western_Center for fighting for children & Californians’ #HealthCoverage.

Economic independence is critical for survivors. A small increase in income leads to a decrease in #DV. Keely Linton of Strong Hearted Native Women's Coalition at today's Assembly Select Committee on Domestic Violence. #CALeg
Prevention has to be done at home, at school, and in the community. Ethnic specific communities have unique needs and we need to invest in working with culturally specific organizations that understand language, norms, and effective strategies. Nat Wadman of @CPAForg#CALeg
Education is prevention. And these learnings are a long-term investment. Funding for prevention is essential for LGBTQ and culturally specific organizations serving the needs of communities. Pablo Espinoza co-exec director of @CUAV to the Assembly Select Committee on DV #CALeg
