Hi, Supporters!

Thanks to your amazing support, California lawmakers recently amended AB 1703 to protect state-licensed healthcare professions and standard massage services. However, the bill still creates major, unintended challenges.

As written, AB 1703 explicitly cuts off our access to highly skilled, internationally trained osteopaths from countries like Canada, the UK, France, and Australia. It also leaves independent, non-licensed holistic practitioners in a dangerous gray area.

Because of these serious threats, we have officially updated our main petition text to directly urge Governor Newsom to veto this bill.

Governor Newsom has until September 30 to make his final decision. We need your help to flood his office starting today!

Please take 2 minutes to help us win:

1.     Share our updated petition with 3 friends or on social media to build momentum.

2.     Call Governor Newsom's office at (916) 445-2841 and say:

"I am a California resident from [YOUR CITY and ZIP CODE], and I urge Governor Newsom to VETO AB 1703. The bill creates unintended restrictions on qualified, internationally trained experts and independent holistic health practitioners. Please protect consumer healthcare choice."

Thank you for standing with us to protect health freedom and professional choice in California!
