Good Election Results—Our Path Forward

Dear Health Advocates:

As always, thank you so much for being a part of this movement for health justice. There is much to navigate but we want to start with the good news. We’re very happy with most of the electoral results across our state and our country, and it signals that we have some positive momentum that is worth celebrating, and building upon. That said, we still have a tall order with the ongoing healthcare access crisis. The federal shutdown has ended but the many MAGA-led assaults on our healthcare system remain a great challenge. In this newsletter, we highlight some of what’s going on at the state and federal levels.  

Our HCHR Winter General Meeting is now set for Tuesday, January 6th, when our coalition members will vote on our 2026 Policy Agenda. (See Upcoming Events below.) Our Policy Committee is hard at work developing our proposals, which will be shared with our member organizations next month. 

With so much going on, we’re grateful to have you with us as we continue to press forward.
