Kaiser Mental Health Strike Hardship Fund

Please donate to this strike hardship fund for the mental health and addiction medicine psychotherapists in the Fairfield and Vallejo, CA clinics. We belong to the National Union of Healthcare Workers, and we are striking because patients continue to endure dangerously long waits for mental health and substance use treatment appointments. We have negotiated at the bargaining table, reached out to all levels of Kaiser leadership/management, filed grievances with the Department of Managed Health Care and other regulatory agencies, and worked to help pass mental health and substance use treatment parity legislation in California, yet are patients are still being denied medically necessary care. Striking is a last resort, but the status quo is unacceptable for our patients; we can't allow them to keep suffering. Your donations will help alleviate the financial burden for therapists who are most impacted by foregoing pay, lowering barriers to strike participation, and making our strike as united and successful as possible! Please remember that your donation is not tax-deductable.
