CA's largest population faces health barriers despite being the backbone of our economy & culture. TCP President @mayraealvarez.bsky.social will join @chcfnews.bsky.social on 9/24 for a webinar exploring Latine health outcomes, threats & solutions. Register: bit.ly/4lJ0rvl

Promotores & CHWs are a critical part of our health care system - connecting, educating, empowering, & serving as a key bridge to a healthier future 4 children, families & communities. So proud to learn from them, be inspired by them, & fight alongside them! Thx for the opp @chcfnews.bsky.social!

The leading cause of death in children is firearms. Politicians, do something!

Grateful to talk w/@chcfnews.bsky.social about the critical importance of a community health workforce & the incredible wisdom & leadership of #promotoras, CHWs, doulas, peers & so many others. By uplifting their role & valuing their contributions, #CA can advance #healthjustice. #CHWPR #CHW

The #BigUglyBill makes billions in cruel cuts to the programs so many of our children & families cannot live w/o, including #Medicaid & SNAP. Instead, it spends billions on immigration raids & abductions that are terrorizing our communities. Where we spend our money reflects our values.

You can still impact the US House vote on the Big, Ugly Bill that will harm children's health by cutting #Medicaid, SNAP nutrition assistance & more... all to give money to the rich & fund government kidnappings. California, email your members of Congress! tinyurl.com/ActForKidsHe...

There is no justification for the fear and trauma these immigration actions are causing to reverberate through our immigrant families and communities. Family separation and the fear of detention and deportation affects our children in ways that will be felt for generations to come.

#Medicaid is a lifeline for families because health is connected to every aspect of our lives. We protect kids and families when we protect #Medicaid! #Health4All #HandsOffMedicaid #ProtectOurHealth

We must protect CA’s investment in #Health4All. “This ‘welcome mat’ effect can lead to a noticeable increase in the number of children covered by Medi-Cal." - @mayraealvarez.bsky.social, TCP president. Read more: edsource.org/2025/califor...

CA’s #MayRevise Budget falls short. It misses a critical chance to lead with our values. As the federal government scapegoats immigrants & slashes support for vital programs, CA must stand up—not step back. 👉 Read our full statement: childrenspartnership.org/news/governo... #CABudget #MayRevise

For infants and young children, mental health and physical health are intertwined, just as they are for adults. Infants and toddlers can’t always express their mental health struggles in words, but they communicate through physical symptoms and changes in behavior.

It would be hard to overstate the impact of the Trump Admin's directive to freeze federal loans, grants, & assistance on America’s children. According to our calculations, these cuts could take roughly $329 billion from US children. Our Statement: firstfocus.org/news/stateme...

"It's these public programs that are core to helping families meet the day-to-day needs of raising healthy kids." - @mayraealvarez.bsky.social, TCP president Read more here: www.publicnewsservice.org/2024-12-10/b... @publicnewsservice.bsky.social
