Thank you for creating space for youth voices and carrying this important bill! So proud of the accomplishments that California has made in mental health access. ❤️

A lot of misinformation was spread about AB665 while the policy simply updated CA law to give Medical recipients the same rights as private insurance. Fiona Lu bravely advocated for youth mental health equity. #MentalHealthAwareness Full story: npr.org/sections/healt…

Grateful to be featured in such an incredible @KQED story by @adembosky! Being able to be a part of the youth voice supporting AB 665 with @fionaaaluu was such an honor, and its passing will help so many low-income CA youth like ourselves.

Let's move youth mental health forward!
Not all youth have access to mental health services.
AB 665 is the solution.

#SB260 is making waves through the CA Legislature. Next stop: Senate Floor! Thank you @Portantino @SenatorAshby @SenBradfordCA @aishabbwahab @Scott_Wiener for supporting & @SenatorMenjivar for your authorship.

SB 260 just passed the Senate Appropriations Committee with a 5-0 vote! Thank you @Portantino @SenatorAshby @SenBradfordCA @AishaBBWahab @Scott_Wiener for your support. We're onto the Senate Floor — let's keep this momentum up! #SB260 #MenstrualEquityActof2023 @SenatorMenjivar

@Portantino @SenBrianJones @SenatorAshby @SenBradfordCA @SenatorSeyarto @AishaBBWahab @Scott_Weiner, we urge you to move #SB260 off the suspense file to expand menstrual equity to low-income families — it’s time to end period poverty now.

SB 260 will be heard in the Senate Approps. Committee’s suspense hearing tomorrow morning and provides an extra $20 of monthly aid to menstruating CalWORKs recipients. Access to menstrual products is a human right. #EndPeriodPovertyCA #MenstrualEquityActof2023 @SenatorMenjivar

Take SB 260 off suspense to continue the fight against period poverty! @Portantino @SenBrianJones @SenatorAshby @SteveBradford @SenatorSeyarto @Aishabbwahab @Scott_Wiener
End Period Poverty CA Coalition@endperiodpovca
SB 260 would alleviate financial stress for families in CalWORKs so they don’t have to choose between menstrual products and other necessities through $20/month. We urge members of the Senate Approps to take SB 260 off suspense.

Implementing free condoms in high schools is cost-effective to help curb the state’s public health crisis. We urge Senate Approps to take SB 541 off suspense #YHES4Condoms @Portantino @SenBrianJones @SenatorAshby @SteveBradford @SenatorSeyarto @Aishabbwahab @Scott_Wiener
