We are proud to join hands with @CA_HealthEquity to call for supporting #HERJFund & direct funding to CBOs such as our org with on-the-ground experience solving #HealthEquity and #RacialJustice problems.

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

We applaud #CaLeg & @CAGovernor’s investments in health care access, but this alone won’t solve CAs grave inequities. Support #HERJFund & direct funding to CBOs with on-the-ground experience solving #HealthEquity and #RacialJustice problems. @CASenateDems @AssemblyDems

[California Pan-Ethnic Health Network @CPEHN]

We are urging @GavinNewsom to support nonprofit organizations, clinics, and tribal organizations that serve disproportionately impacted communities to address the social determinants of physical health and behavioral health by supporting the Health Equity and Racial Justice Fund!

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

One of the #HERJFund coalition's greatest strengths is the support we have from over 200 CBOs across the the state. A question to all those orgs doing the "on the ground" work: What #HealthInequities does your community face & in what ways does your org address it? #RacialJustice

[Latino Coalition for a Healthy California @LCHC_CA]

By supporting the #HERJFund, CA demonstrate how to TRULY implement community led projects and campaigns that would have a direct impact on building more equitable public health, support racially equitable practices.

#HERJFund would directly fund CBOs/clinics/tribal orgs work to address the conditions that cause #HealthInequities. Examples incl. preventing exposure to toxic pollutants & increasing diverse forms of accessible, walkable & connected green spaces @CAgovernor #RacialJustice #CALeg

[Oromo Community of Northern California @ORO_NorthCal]

Food affordability/availability drive #FoodInsecurity, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities & #CommunitiesofColor. #HERJFund solutions may incl. increasing healthy food access, community gardens in underserved neighborhoods, greater language capacity at food bank

[Oromo Community of Northern California @ORO_NorthCal]

.@CAGovernor has been ahead of country on many issues, incl. marriage equality, immigrant rights, #COVID, & #FoodJustice. By embracing groundbreaking #HERJFund he could also enhance power of communities, improve physical/economic health & provide innovative model for nation.

[Oromo Community of Northern California @ORO_NorthCal]

Over 200+ justice orgs & vast majorities of both @AssemblyDems & @CASenateDems support the transformative #HERFund & community driven solutions it would scale up addressing root causes of #RacialInjustice & #HealthInequities. @CAGovernor: Will you join us? #CALeg

[Oromo Community of Northern California @ORO_NorthCal]

The #HealthEquity #RacialJustice Fund (#HERJFund) would scale up the innovative work being done by CBOs to address the community conditions that are at the root cause of health disparities, incl. long-standing structural inequities @CAGovernor & #CaLeg: Include Fund in #cabudget!

[Oromo Community of Northern California @ORO_NorthCal]
