Team,

These past few years have taken a toll on every aspect of our well-being, especially our mental health.

But we can't let it define us. We're just getting started in our fight to expand mental healthcare access and improve other factors that impact mental health in Los Angeles, including housing and hunger.

We are committed to building a dynamic mental health task force to combat the mental health crisis and ensure everyone has access to much-needed care. But to accomplish this goal and more, we need to win this race for Congress.

Hi friend,

Right now, we're dealing with a mental health emergency in our country.

Too many Californians are suffering from mental health challenges without the resources or ability to seek help.

Across the country, 1 in 5 adults in the United States have a serious mental illness that interferes with their professional, personal, and financial life. And last year, the suicide rate reached the highest level in over 80 years.

Healthcare is a basic human right, and that includes mental health care. Equal access to mental health services is not negotiable. That's why we're taking bold steps to reinforce mental health parity laws, striving for a future where everyone's well-being is protected.

My vision for expanding access to mental health care in CA-30 involves comprehensive support, including:

*
Stable
housing
to
keep
people
safe
and
off
the
streets.
*
Wraparound
mental
health
support.
*
A
24/7
mobile
behavioral
health
team.
*
The
development
of
a
single-payer
healthcare
system
to
eliminate
financial
barriers
to
care.

Imagine folks getting the help needed to rebuild their lives, with the security of a place to call home. We can achieve this brighter future, but we need to work together.

Friend, let's challenge the stigma and invest in a brighter, more resilient Los Angeles. Will you join us in this important journey to ensure mental healthcare access for all by powering our movement with a donation today? [[link removed]]

Telehealth transformed mental health care during the pandemic , providing care quickly and accessibly. Now, we're investing in broadband expansion, ensuring top-notch mental health care is accessible to all, regardless of location.

We are making this a priority because anyone experiencing a mental health emergency should be able to access the care needed without barriers and stigma. Innovations like telehealth save lives, and this is just the beginning.

Wraparound mental health support + 24/7 mobile behavioral health teams = a brighter future for our district. Let's work together to make it happen! Join us today. [[link removed]]
