 webpage on the issue: 
 https://www.aclunc.org/take-action/get-involved/religious-restrictions-uc-health-care\n\nThe 
 COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that a patient's health – not 
 politics or ideology – must drive important medical decisions. And yet 
 one of California's largest healthcare providers is considering 
 partnerships that would place discriminatory restrictions on the kinds of 
 procedures they provide. Speak out now!\n\nThe University of California 
 (UC) Health System is the fourth largest healthcare provider in California 
 and the training ground for half of California's medical students and 
 residents. As a public entity, UC Health cannot and should not limit its 
 care based on religious doctrine. And as a national leader in promoting 
 comprehensive reproductive and LGBTQ+ inclusive healthcare, UC must stand 
 for both its own and California's values.\n\nLast fall, UC Health's many 
 community members asked the UC Board of Regents not to engage in any 
 affiliations that subject its providers, staff, or patients to 
 discriminatory restrictions on care. UC was supposed to vote on this issue 
 in May.\n\nUC has delayed this vote indefinitely, even though every UC 
 campus with a medical center has already signed contracts that impose 
 religious restrictions on UC clinicians, limiting their ability to practice 
 evidence-based medicine and prohibiting them from providing essential 
 reproductive and LGBTQ+ inclusive healthcare to patients.\n\nWhen the UC 
 Board of Regents holds this vote, we must be ready to demand that the UC 
 stand for ALL patients and protect reproductive and LGBTQ-inclusive health 
 care.\n\nJoin us for a Virtual Speak Out on Thursday, September 24. You'll 
 learn more about ACLU's UC campaign, hear from guest speakers, and create 
 your public comments. Show UC Health that our community stands for patient 
 health, free of any restrictions!\n
