National Disability Independence Day marked the signing of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), but you could argue that the day of the Capitol Crawl should also be commemorated. Here, over 1000 disabled activists came together to demand rights, dignity, and freedom!

About us
The California Endowment is a $4B private, statewide health foundation established in 1996 whose mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. We're changing the narrative around health to ensure health and justice for all. And each day we, along with our community partners, seek ways to improve the state of health in California. Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, we have regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno, and San Diego, with program staff working throughout the state. We challenge the conventional wisdom that medical settings and individual choices are solely responsible for people's health. Instead, we believe that health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and with prevention.

For Latinos, retirement looks different—especially for those who are undocumented or work in blue collar jobs. Being the children of immigrants means planning ahead for what's to come.

Rest in Power to Sonya Massey—a loving mother and daughter who was taken by the continued epidemic of police violence. When we say #BlackLivesMatter, we mean that Black lives are sacred. We mean that they are deserving of life. We mean that the attack on our community needs to end. More policing doesn't make our communities safer, it only puts the most vulnerable at risk.
