County Meetings About Healthcare Spending:
Let's attend County Meetings together to keep in touch with our County Supervisors to help them do the right thing in our shared goal of saving as many lives as we can in Santa Clara County. Sign up here to be notified about the County meetings, agenda items, and times.
Hear Directly From County Nurses
Stay informed in real time, from first-hand witnesses, about County budget cuts and their impact on patients and frontline workers by tuning into upcoming public comments from County nurses at Board of Supervisors meetings:
January: 13 & 27
February: 10 & 24
March: 10 & 24
⏰ Nurses are expected to speak in the County meetings between approximately 9:30–11:00 AM, unless they announce a time change.
🎥 The video recordings will be compiled in a Youtube playlist here to watch at any time. A video of the nurses at the County jails is already posted there — addressing inhumane patient conditions in the County jails.
California Billionaire Tax Act 2026
Help to secure 875,000 valid signatures by June 2026 to place this life-saving initiative on the November 2026 ballot. This is a one-time 5% billionaire tax that will protect California healthcare from the massive federal cuts of H.R.1. To learn more: www.CABillionaireTax.org.
Become a CalCare Educator
Sign up for training here to become a CalCare educator to help educate community members at both the local and state levels to pass CalCare in 2026. Establishing a single-payer healthcare system in California would make our communities more resilient - locally and state-wide - against future attacks like H.R. 1 that devastate healthcare access and funding.
Stay Informed & Help Spread Awareness:
Follow, like, and re-post our content on social media to increase public awareness about the specific impact of H.R. 1 on Santa Clara County residents and what we need to do about it.

About US
Fund Healthcare, Not Billionaires is a grassroots community movement dedicated to saving as many lives as possible in Santa Clara County through community outreach, connecting free services, and mobilizing voters to pass urgent, life-saving ballot measures.
Fund Healthcare, Not Billionaires began as a series of peaceful protests from July 1–4, 2025, led by Cristina de la Fuente — a San Jose bedside Registered Nurse — to show that Santa Clara County residents would not stay silent about the deadly cuts to Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and CalFresh (SNAP) services.
When H.R.1 was signed into law July 4, 2025, the movement quickly evolved into a public health coalition in less than a week.
Santa Clara County residents, activist groups, community-based nonprofits, labor unions, and elected officials came together like a rapid response team to protect their communities.
Core Values
Courage. Shared commitment. Joyful resistance. Patience. Crisis management. Evidence-based practice. Healthcare for all.
Mission
Our mission is to save as many lives as possible in Santa Clara County.
Our Clinical and Non-Clinical Outreach Teams will keep everyone informed, assess needs and questions, and prioritize them.
We will connect a network of new and existing safety-net services across Santa Clara County and publish them on our website and printed educational materials.
