TELL
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER:
DO THE RIGHT THING and SIGN SB 840 (KUEHL)
THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH INSURANCE RELIABILITY ACT
(Please
circulate widely. Between the lack of funding for Ryan White here in LA to overall
lack of access to medical care in California, please make sure to get the word
out on this so folks can show up for universal health care. Imagine preventative
healthcare. Imagine alternative healthcare. Imagine glasses when you need glasses,
dentistry when you need it, not having to keep a crappy job because you can’t
afford a break in your healthcare provision and you can’t afford COBRA.
Imagine everyone in California having access to a doctor. Imagine healthcare for
transgender people. Imagine poor people and homeless people and working people
and runaway teens and sex workers and union workers and artists and people with
cancer and diabetes – everyone – being able to get the necessary medical
care they need. This covers mental health, addiction treatment, all sorts of things.

A note from
Antioch LGBT Director, Dr. Douglas Sadownick
Hello Students, Friends, Instructors and Interested Homo-Allies and Members of
the Public:
You are warmly invited to the FIRST “LGBT TEACH-IN” on Tuesday, August
29, 5-7 p.m., room A1017, to be held as part of the new LGBT specialization in
the Master of Arts Program in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University.
The specialization has already garnered exciting interest (see the enclosed article
in Frontiers News Magazine). We thought it would be helpful to provide “Teach-Ins”
to the community on the subject of LGBT psychology and affirmative therapy on
a regularly, quarterly basis.
At the Teach-In, participants will meet members of the emerging LGBT student body
and some of the faculty staff. I will be on hand to discuss the historical rise
of LGBT-affirmative therapy and the importance of clinical attitudes that honor
the unique needs and potential of the LGBT individual. A screening of Before Stonewall,
a moving documentary on life leading up to the modern gay liberation movement,
will be shown.
Please tell anyone who might be interested in the specialization about this informative
and lively event! And if they are interested in joining the program in advance
of fall Inauguration, now is a good time.
Douglas
