WE NEED EQUITABLE QUALITY HEALTHCARE, RIGHT?
If you agree please help urge the SJ city council to stand in support of AB1400. Their support will help us persuade other Asm and Senate representatives who have not yet come out in support of the bill.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

First, Speak Up at the San José Rules Commission!

Wednesday Oct. 13th, 2 PM

On Wednesday City of San José Rules and Open Government. Committee (ROGC) will vote whether to send the AB1400 (CalCare) support Memorandum to the City Council for consideration and vote. Please take these Actions ASAP!
