I broke this down for my facebook family & want to do the same for twitter. Lots of important things going on in the world. This is a large part of mine & impacts thousands.

1) The State of California funds the University of California (the UC System, or just "the UC"). https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏧" title="Automated teller machine" aria-label="Emoji: Automated teller machine">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏧" title="Automated teller machine" aria-label="Emoji: Automated teller machine">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏧" title="Automated teller machine" aria-label="Emoji: Automated teller machine">

2) The UC has existing partnerships at Dignity Health hospitals. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handshake" aria-label="Emoji: Handshake">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handshake" aria-label="Emoji: Handshake">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handshake" aria-label="Emoji: Handshake">

3) Dignity Health hospitals are religiously-based & follow Catholic doctrines, not evidence-based science (they choose religion over medicine). https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Smiling face with halo" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with halo">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

4) The Catholic doctrines are very discriminatory against

the LGBTQ+ community & are extremely regressive in regards to women & women& #39;s reproductive healthcare & rights. (Catholic friends, I love you; but this is the case.) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤰🏾" title="Pregnant woman (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Pregnant woman (medium dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩🏿‍🦰" title="Woman, red haired (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman, red haired (dark skin tone)"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍👨‍👦‍👦" title="Family (man, man, boy, boy)" aria-label="Emoji: Family (man, man, boy, boy)">(https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Man shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging">)

5) Dignity Health hospitals are places UC students & thousands of Californians go to for care

(the UC system is the 4th largest health care delivery system in our state), the UC has medical students learning at Dignity Health hospitals, the UC has doctors working at Dignity Health hospitals, etc. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩‍🎓" title="Female student" aria-label="Emoji: Female student">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨🏽‍🏫" title="Male teacher (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Male teacher (medium skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩🏿‍⚕️" title="Female health worker (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Female health worker (dark skin tone)">

6) When we were fighting against an extensive partnership between

Dignity Health and UCSF, UCSF was really dodgy about what their current relationship was like with Dignity Health & we knew that some prior relationships existed between some UCs and some Dignity Health hospitals.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔒" title="Lock" aria-label="Emoji: Lock">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔒" title="Lock" aria-label="Emoji: Lock">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔒" title="Lock" aria-label="Emoji: Lock">

7) The ACLU & others submitted a Public Records Act

request to get more information about the partnerships. We just got information back. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🕵🏻‍♀️" title="Female sleuth (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Female sleuth (light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔐" title="Closed lock with key" aria-label="Emoji: Closed lock with key">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔓" title="Open lock" aria-label="Emoji: Open lock">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧶" title="Yarn" aria-label="Emoji: Yarn">

8)That& #39;s why we& #39;re ANGRY. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔔" title="Bell" aria-label="Emoji: Bell">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔊" title="Speaker with three sound waves" aria-label="Emoji: Speaker with three sound waves">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark">

9) The information shows that UC doctors can& #39;t perform the following services at Dignity Health hospitals (below) &, likewise, students (& others)

can’t access these services at Dignity Health hospitals.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚶🏻‍♀️" title="Woman walking (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman walking (light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚶🏾‍♂️" title="Man walking (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man walking (medium dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙇🏻‍♀️" title="Woman bowing deeply (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman bowing deeply (light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙇🏾‍♂️" title="Man bowing deeply (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man bowing deeply (medium dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😮" title="Face with open mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with open mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😲" title="Astonished face" aria-label="Emoji: Astonished face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Expressionless face" aria-label="Emoji: Expressionless face">

10) The information that was revealed thru the Public Records Act shows that the UC system is failing in their commitment to their LGBTQ+ students & to women in really horrible ways. It includes denying

rape victims/survivors the "morning after pill".https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Exploding head" aria-label="Emoji: Exploding head">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Exploding head" aria-label="Emoji: Exploding head">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear" aria-label="Emoji: Face screaming in fear">

10.5) As a note, their #7 was why Dignity Health denied me (a trans guy) a hysterectomy when I told their pre-op nurse I was trans & went by male pronouns (he, him & his) when she called me for my phone consult 2 days

before my long-awaited, medically-necessary & (at that point) time-sensitive surgery. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Broken heart" aria-label="Emoji: Broken heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Face with cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Face with cold sweat">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙇🏼‍♂️" title="Man bowing deeply (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man bowing deeply (medium light skin tone)">

11) I thank the entire UC Board of Regents, but especially Regents @JohnAPerez and @EleniForCA for coming out against the UCSF partnership. They showed they believe that no one is

expendable.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥇" title="First place medal" aria-label="Emoji: First place medal">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Growing heart" aria-label="Emoji: Growing heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundred points symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundred points symbol">

12) Now that we know what is taking place, we must ALL roll up our sleeves. Hospitals exist to provide care, not to deny people care OR pick and choose who to give that care to. And we DEFINITELY can& #39;t stand by and let our state& #39;s schools do that. Because

(especially in this day & age), we are ALL in this together. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌎" title="Earth globe americas" aria-label="Emoji: Earth globe americas">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌏" title="Earth globe asia-australia" aria-label="Emoji: Earth globe asia-australia">
