Upcoming actions from the Stop EVV Coalition, a local grass roots coalition of consumers and IHSS workers
EVV means Electronic Visit Verification. It’s a federal requirement that could invade our homes and make it difficult to work with the care givers who help us.
The State of California is discussing what to do about this. Activists are protesting and testifying.Â
Here’s how to help:
