Sample script:
Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I’m calling as a member of the Jewish Center for Justice in zip code [your zip code].
I am urging the [name of representative] to vote for AB 1876 because it would protect access to gender-affirming healthcare and strengthen protections against discrimination in health insurance. This bill is important because no one should be denied health coverage or access to care because of their race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. If AB 1876 were to pass, it would help ensure that people can access the healthcare they need without facing discrimination and would strengthen California’s commitment to fair and equal treatment in healthcare.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
What is JCJ advocating for?
AB 1876 would:
- Strengthen protections against discrimination in health insurance coverage.
- Help ensure equal access to healthcare, including gender-affirming care.
- Prevent people from being denied enrollment, benefits, or participation in a health plan because of their race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex.
- Promote fair and equal treatment for all Californians seeking healthcare.
Why are we advocating for equal access to healthcare?
The Jewish Center for Justice believes that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Guided by the Jewish value of B’tzelem Elohim, the belief that every person is created in the image of God, we support AB 1876 because it helps ensure that everyone has equal access to healthcare and is protected from discrimination, regardless of who they are.
