.@CAgovernor Now it is your turn, adopt the @CASenateDems & @AssemblyDems proposal and allocate the $15 Million for training, recruitment, and certification of our healthcare workforce! #StopTheDelay #PayCHWPRsToday #cabudget
Thanks to @CASenateDems & @Assembly Dems for proposing to increase base reimbursement rates for CHWPRs in the MCO Tax proposal in your joint budget. CHWPRs must be included in workforce rate increases. #cabudget #PayCHWPRsToday @CAgovernor
We want to thank the @CASenateDems & @AssemblyDemsfor rejecting the governor’s proposal to delay workforce funds for Community Health Workers and Promotores. @RendonAD62 @SenToniAtkins Our communities appreciate it! #StopTheDelay #PayCHWPRsToday #cabudget, @CAgovernor

Dear
@GavinNewsom
: During #Pandemic your administration relied on community-based organizations to keep Californians safe. Now we’re relying on you to keep up the fight for #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice by supporting the #HERJFund today!

#StopTheDelayPayCHWPRsToday: Since the pandemic, 67% of the promotoras reported an annual household income of $34,999 or less- majority of the promotoras are living in poverty Read more bit.ly/42qm2iG
#StopTheDelayPayCHWPRsToday: Most promotoras lived in high-cost regions in Southern California (50%) and the Greater Bay Area (33%) where an annual household income of $34,999 or less is not enough to cover basic living costs Read more bit.ly/42qm2iG
#StopTheDelayPayCHWPRsToday: 90% of CHWPRs told us that with their current salary, they are UNABLE to pay for basic expenses, including food, housing, health and mental health care and transportation. Funds are Needed TODAY @NancySkinnerCA @PhilTing @AsmArambula @SenatorMenjivar
CHWPRs can be an anti-racist strategy to address our #CA growing health inequities IF we shift power to CHWPRs and ensure our voices lead state policies and investments for our workforce #StopTheDelayPayCHWPRsToday @NancySkinnerCA @PhilTing @AsmArambula @SenatorMenjivar
A portion of funds must be set aside to continue stakeholder conversations next year on how best to allocate CHWPR grants and stipends as soon as they become available! #StopTheDelayPayCHWPRsToday @NancySkinnerCA @PhilTing @AsmArambula @SenatorMenjivar
