DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has put into stark reality what many Californians already knew: We 
 have a serious Latinx Health Disparity problem in our state. Currently, a 
 little over 38% of the population in California identifies as Latinx but we 
 only 8% of our physicians are Latinx.\n\nIn a state that is as diverse as 
 ours, this lack of representation is compounding health issues in 
 communities of color through physician shortages and lack of culturally 
 competent care in health fields.\n\nProp 16, which repeals the ban on 
 affirmative action programs, is the answer to creating a health care 
 community that actually reflects the state of California.\n\nJoin our panel 
 of Latinx health experts for a roundtable discussion on how Prop. 16 could 
 be a key tool in our equitable recovery from COVID, leaving communities of 
 color less vulnerable to disease and creating a health force that looks 
 like California.\n\nHost: Yes on Prop 16: Opportunity for All\n\nDate & 
 Time: Monday, September 28 @ 5 PM PT\n\nRSVP:

 Foundations's CEO, Jacqueline Martinez Garcel\n\nMALDEF's President, Tom 
 Saenz\n\nState Senator Maria Elena Durazo\n\nAltaMed's President & CEO 
 Castulo de la Rocha\n\nCalifornia Immigrant Policy Center's Exec. Director, 
 Cynthia Buiza\n\nWhat is Prop 16?\n\nIn California, we believe in giving 
 everyone, regardless of race or gender, an equal shot at fair wages, good 
 jobs, and quality schools. But we’re not there yet. Women and people of 
 color still face discrimination in hiring, employment, contracting, and 
 education.\n\nCalifornia is one of only nine states that bans affirmative 
 action as a tool to fight discrimination. Proposition 16 is our chance to 
 change that by ending the ban and expanding opportunity for all.\n
