Alameda County launched a 'Fight for Medi-Cal' coalition with 30+ health organizations, community groups, labor unions, and patient advocates pledging coordinated advocacy through the 2026 midterm election cycle. The coalition will focus on district-level constituent pressure on House Republicans in competitive CA districts, voter education on Medicaid stakes, and county supervisor testimony campaigns. AHS, Roots Community Health Center, La Clínica de La Raza, and Bay Area Legal Aid are among founding members. The model mirrors the successful Santa Clara Measure A coalition that passed a $330M/year local health tax.
