The #CALeg May Revise is a disaster for our state—“balancing” the budget by cutting social services from the most vulnerable Californians. This is a policy CHOICE. The legislature could recoup the deficit in other ways, like closing corporate loopholes. #CABudget

Today’s #MayRevise proposal looks to immigrant families barely scraping by to cough up $2 billion to fill the state’s budget deficit. Meanwhile corporations and the rich aren’t asked to contribute a single penny. #CABudget #Health4All Full CPEHN Response: cpehn.org/about-us/blo...

#TexasVBecerra Case Update: No state Attorney General has withdrawn from the lawsuit at this time. We urge advocates in the 17 states to continue to contact their AG to ask them to drop the case to continue the campaign to #Protect504 More info: dredf.org/wp-content/u...

Text reads "On Wednesday, February 19, a Joint Status Report was filed by the 17 states and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The report does not change anything about the case. Although several Attorneys General told stakeholders that the lawsuit would be dropped or that their state would withdraw from it, all 17 states made clear in the filing that they will continue to pursue all of their original claims that Section 504 itself is unconstitutional. "

Text reads "The AGs also reiterated that they will continue to challenge portions of the regulations related to community integration and Olmstead, which require states to provide services in the “most integrated setting.” The integration regulation protects our right to participate in our community with supports instead of being segregated in institutions or separate classrooms."

Text reads "No state Attorney General has withdrawn from the lawsuit at this time. We urge advocates in the 17 states to continue to contact their AG to ask them to drop the case to continue the campaign to protect Section 504."
