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

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
