“Before the Medicaid expansion, I was without health insurance for a long time and was only able to access the free health clinics in the East Bay to address this recurring stomach issue that I had. I would be in immense pain. With the Medicaid expansion, I have been able to see a doctor and receive regular check-ups regarding my illness. I know that having Medi-Cal has prolonged my lifespan.”

SEARAC proudly joins in solidarity with the Black community. Black History Month is a moment to honor and reflect on the relentless advocacy of Black activists. It is also a time for action as the new administration continues to attack Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.
SEARAC is committed to fighting for the diversity of America. Our work is possible because of the Black civil rights leaders who believed that equity and justice can be achieved and that a better world is possible. It is our collective responsibility to build that world together. Check out SEARAC`s Solidarity Hub at searac.org/solidarity-hub/ or the link in our bio for resources and ways to continue racial solidarity work in February and beyond.

Health care is a matter of life or death for many in the Southeast Asian American community. We must protect Medicaid and ensure that all communities have coverage and access to life saving care. Today, SEARAC joins partners across the country for a Day of Action to Protect Medicaid as Congress considers drastic funding cuts.
Medicaid is more than a safety net—it’s a critical health insurance program covering millions of low-income Americans. From children to older adults and individuals with disabilities, Medicaid offers free or low-cost healthcare services, funded by both federal and state governments. Call your member of Congress and Protect Medicaid 866-426-2631
