Health Equity Coalition 2025 Budget Victory Party

A victory worth celebrating. A movement still in motion.

Advocate, allies, and friends of health equity - please join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and purpose.

This year, the Health Equity Coalition—powered by the collective efforts of Equality California, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, the Los Angeles LGBT Center, the California LGBTQ+ Health & Human Services Network, Health Access, and over 70 community organizations—secured a victory in the 2025 California State Budget. Together, we restored nearly $60 million in critical funding for LGBTQ+, reproductive justice, and gender health equity programs. These wins protect the work of grantees and community initiatives across the state and affirm the power of community-led advocacy.

Special shout out thank yous to all our champions who made this possible including the members and staff of the CA LGBTQ Legislative Caucus, the Senate and Assembly Budget Committees, and the Governor's Office.

But we know our work is far from over.

As LGBTQ+ communities across the country face increasing threats and federal hostility grows, moments like this one matter. They remind us of our strength, our unity, and our ability to shape policy when we organize with purpose.

This event is a chance to:

• Celebrate what we accomplished together

• Acknowledge the battles ahead

• Reconnect with fellow advocates, organizers, and leaders

• Recharge for the work still to come

Let’s gather in pride to honor what we’ve won and gear up for what’s next.Food, drinks (open bar), and networking at this community event await. We hope to see you there.
