Hello,
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF. I’m writing to urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 554 by Assemblymember Mark González into law.
California is so close to ending the AIDS epidemic. We need to remove unnecessary financial and insurance barriers to PrEP access.
The Republican Regime's funding cuts and dismantling of healthcare threaten to make AIDS great again. Will you stand against them? Are you the LGBT ally we helped elect and the strong leader that Democrats crave? Or will you favor profit over saving the lives of your constituents? We—and the families of those who are lost—will remember your choice.
Background
The Battle for Gavin Newsom's soul continues!
We in California are so close to ending the AIDS epidemic, but we can only do so if everybody has access to PrEP—a regular medication that prevents those who take it from developing AIDS.
We are joining this week's push by Equality California in support of AB 554: PrEP Access and Coverage by Asm. Mark González. This bill is critical to ensuring health plans in California cover PrEP without unnecessary costs or insurance barriers, regardless of federal rollbacks under the Trump administration.
Newsom is considering whether to sign or veto this bill. If he does the latter, he’ll be siding with healthcare parasites to let them cause death for dollars. We need to pressure him to do the right thing—and make sure he won't live it down if he doesn't!
