Proposition 54 would prevent state, county and local government from collecting life saving data about race, ethnicity, and national origin. White women have the highest incidence of breast cancer. Vietnamese women have the highest rate of cervical cancer. Latino children are 38% less likely to receive prescription medication compared to white children being seen for the same illness. African Americans have the highest HIV rate.
Data on race and national origin helps health care organizations track and prevent diseases. Without this life saving data, lives will be lost. We must oppose Proposition 54, because it is very harmful to Californians.
Please join Joyce Sogg at her "No on Proposition 54" house party.
Don't forget to go to the polls. Vote NO on th recall, then select Cruz Bustamante in Part 2. Also, vote NO ON PROP 54.
