☮️ OHC Seminar with
Congressman Mark DeSaulnier
Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, a strong advocate for accessibility and equal opportunity for all, visited Open House Center to address the HR1 Bill and its impact on our community.
Many supporters of OHC attended, sharing questions and testimonies and listening to those of others.
Through his answers, Congressman DeSaulnier's words brought determination and action within our audience.
As the HR1 Bill affects not only our community but the future of healthcare in our country, we must serve as voices of change for our clients, our loved ones, and ourselves.
If you would like to express any concerns, questions, or thoughts regarding the HR1 Bill, you may use the websites below to write to Congressman DeSaulnier's office, or if you live outside of CA10, the websites of other representatives are linked below:
