End-of-life care is a difficult thing to think about, but it’s good to know that when we or someone we love are facing a life-limiting illness, we can choose to take advantage of quality care offered by hospice and palliative care programs at little-to-no cost.

Women’s Empowerment Committee
There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise.
–W.E.B. Dubois
The mission of the Women’s Empowerment Committee is to be the change we want to see in our world.
We will achieve this by educating our members on the issues that affect women. We will empower one another to boldly step out to fight for the rights of our members and all Californians to have a good life, live in sustainable communities and enjoy the fruits of social, economic and environmental justice.
