Call To Action from our friends at Justice in Action:

Justice in Aging opposes the California Assembly’s plan to adopt Governor Newsom’s proposal to impose a $2,000 asset limit for older adults and people with disabilities to qualify for Medi-Cal.

California aging and disability network, please take action TODAY! Call Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (916-319-2046), chair of the Assembly Budget Committee and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (916-319-2029) – urge them to reject this proposal.

The Assembly’s suggested delay in implementation until July 1, 2027 does little to mitigate the harm of this cut. A $2,000 asset limit for Medi-Cal is simply a cruel requirement that unfairly penalizes older adults and people with disabilities.

Talking Points

I am opposed to the Assembly’s agreement to impose a $2,000 asset limit in Medi-Cal for older adults and people with disabilities.

Delaying this proposal is unacceptable, and the Assembly should fully reject this unfair and harmful proposal.

A $2,000 asset limit prevents people from having any savings, putting them one emergency away from financial ruin.

This should be a great workshop.

Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. We will discuss examples of habitability problems and what tenants can do to make sure the housing provider maintains the property and gives tenants a safe place to live.

After the virtual workshop, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a one-on-one consultation.

ASL and Spanish interpretation will be offered.

This event is only for tenants with disabilities, not landlords or home owners.

**MISSING PERSON**

The San Francisco Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a missing, at-risk elderly person.

Rosie McMurray was last seen on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at approximately 3:30 a.m., leaving her residence on the 1200 block of Fillmore Street.

Ms. McMurray is described as an 85-year-old Black female, 5’4”, 170 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes. She is considered “at-risk” because she suffers from Alzheimer's and takes medication for another medical condition.

Ms. McMurray was last seen wearing a beige jacket, jeans, white shoes, and pushing a shopping cart. She is known to frequent the McDonald's at Golden Gate Avenue and Fillmore Street.

A photo of Ms. McMurray accompanies this news release.

Anyone who locates Rosie McMurray should call 911 and report her current location and physical description. Anyone with information on her possible whereabouts should call the SFPD Missing Persons Unit Tip Line at 1-415-734-3070 or Text-A-Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.
