Chapters: Contra Costa County

Welcome to our Contra Costa County Chapter

We encourage you to get in touch if you need information or would like to get involved. We love to hear from you.

Join us at our upcoming  Contra Costa County Chapter ZOOM Meeting Sunday June 2, 2024 –  3:00 PM till 5:00 PM.

We recently lost two of our cherished leaders, Pat Snyder and Betty Brown, who worked for decades to help make single payer health care a reality.  In honor of both of them, we will continue our work toward that goal.
