1/#HERJStorm Conclusion: Justice can’t wait for those struggling to house/feed their families & stay healthy & safe while navigating a system making them sick. @CAGovernor #CaLeg #HERJFund

Reason #6 for #HERJFund: A person’s skin color & zip code shouldn’t determine the length or quality of their life! #CaLeg & @CAGovernor’s investments in health care access won’t solve CA’s grave inequities alone. #HERJFund will help build a healthier & more equitable tomorrow!

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

Reason #5 for #HERJFund: It would scale up innovative work being done by CBOs to address community conditions (#FoodInsecurity/Poverty/Housing, etc) at root of #HealthDisparities, incl. long-standing structural inequities. @CAGovernor #CALeg

Reason #4 for #HERJFund: #CBOs have unique expertise advancing #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice in our underserved communities. They know their neighbors’ distinct needs, are fluent in every language, & implement effective local solutions. Let's invest in them! @CAGovernor #CALeg

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

Reason #3 for #HERJFund: During #COVID CA relied on #CACBOs to keep us safe. The Emergency may be ending, but effects persist – esp. for communities of color that bore the brunt of #Pandemic. CBOs advancing #RacialJustice & #HealthEquity need our support now! @CAGovernor #CALeg

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

Reason #2 for #HERJFund: #SystemicRacism adversely impacts the environments in which people live, work, & play. Despite 80% of health outcomes determined by community conditions we spend upwards of 95% of health expenditures on medical services & only 3.5% on prevention.

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

Reason #1 for #HERJFund: #StructuralRacism & social/economic inequities represent dual public health crises for people of color & marginalized communities, leading to higher rates of asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, & other health issues. @CAGovernor #CALeg

[Californians for Health Equity @CA_HealthEquity]

1/Welcome to our #HERJStorm! For the next hour we want @CAGovernor & #CALeg to hear from ALL of us! Together, let's convince them to stand with & up for CA's underserved communities by establishing the #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice Fund (#HERJFund) into law this year!
