I was so proud to lobby for AB 1682 this year. Scalp cooling allows #cancer patients to keep their hair during chemo. Another take is this treatment gives folks a chance to seize control over the uncontrollable. A huge #mentalhealth boost toward recovery. www.kpbs.org/news/health/...
A new California law may help more cancer patients keep their hair
The new law will expand coverage of FDA-cleared scalp-cooling technology for some cancer patients starting Jan. 1.

Hoping this #CALeg will pass next year. My sister was placed for adoption as an infant. Grateful I found her later in life, but she couldn’t get her OG birth certificate. Obtaining access to health history is important, but it’s also about mental health and finding peace through answers.
A measure that would have allowed adoptees to access their original birth certificates died in the Legislature this year.

The reports about the rapes at Cornell—and the lack of accountability—are sickening.
So is the victim blaming: “If you don’t want to be raped, don’t go to a frat party.”
Instead of telling girls and women to avoid harm, we should be raising boys and men not to commit it:
Don’t. Rape. Women.
