The California Endowment

Overview

Working in collaboration with immigrant rights and health advocates, and centering the voices of immigrant youth from communities across the state, The California Endowment's #Health4All campaign sought to increase access to healthcare for all Californians, regardless of immigration status.

The campaign inspired a movement through which advocates, organizers, community leaders, and residents rallied to seek and achieve numerous policy wins that culminated in California expanding access to Medi-Cal to all Californians regardless of immigration status, thus achieving the largest healthcare expansion since the Affordable Care Act was enacted.

Quote from the keynote speech

“In philanthropy, we often think we know everything, but listening is key in communications. This was not our story to tell, and we had to respect that and honor it, so we let our community lead.”
