In 2013, Community Health Councils, 596 Acres, and C-Lab at Columbia GSAPP partnered to launch LA Open Acres, a digital tool to identify and activate vacant lots to create new green space in park poor and food desert neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Their tool is still online and available for you to use/contribute to! Happy to have supported this incredible project.

1 of 5 people who gained coverage through the ACA live in CA - California Health Care Foundation 20th Anniversary Health Care Forum #Resist #SaveTheACA #HealthCareThatWorks
THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER: Today, the House of Representatives voted on the American Health Care Act (AHCA), passing with a vote of 217-213. The GOP voted to strip healthcare away from more than 24 million Americans who could potentially lose their coverage should the bill pass in the Senate.
We are disappointed with this vote and must reiterate that it is not over yet. We urge you to take action:
• Call your senators and let them know you firmly reject any attempts to take healthcare away from millions of families across the U.S.
• Hold the House responsible: Call and express your disappointment if your representative voted yes, and thank them if they voted no.
Now, more than ever, we must keep up the fight and stand up for the right to health.
