🎉 AB 1876 is now California law!

The Fair Care for All Act, authored by Assemblymember Dawn Addis and sponsored by The TransLatin@ Coalition, strengthens protections against discrimination in health care coverage, including protections important to transgender, gender-expansive, and intersex (TGI) communities.

This victory was powered by community. To everyone who called, emailed, shared, testified, and advocated alongside us: thank you for showing up. 💜
