As families struggle this holiday season, Trump, Republicans have more pain in store: cutting health care coverage, forcing more people into #medicaldebt. CA's Gov & Leg have the tools to prevent the worst harms: raise revenues from corporate wealth. https://bit.ly/4iiibh8

California finally put limits on how fast hospitals can raise prices.
Now the industry is suing to overturn them.
Patients can’t afford this — but hospitals want to keep cashing in.
Our latest op-ed breaks it down ⬇️

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.

CPHEN is deeply disappointed that Congress left families struggling to pay for healthcare so the wealthiest can keep huge tax breaks. Our fight to hold Congress accountable on afforable healthcare continues.

Every registered voter should have received a mail ballot, which can be returned to a ballot drop box or via regular mail (no postage required). You may also register and vote in-person at a polling place or Vote Center. Find the nearest voting place: https://bit.ly/3Lk9V3O

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.
