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
Read editorial by @FaithinValley’s Pastor Turner in @LAProgressive: https://t.co/vmpb1q9oBU
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!
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
Take Action: https://t.co/X6PElPo3ue
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
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.
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
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!
Great news! The Movember donation campaign has selected our community to support programs for young East African men. Your contribution is highly valued and will make a difference. Take a moment to lend your support and help us make a positive impact together!
Happy Juneteenth! UWEAST supports @CABlackFreedom's request for the state to invest in California’s Black-led organizations!
Let's stand united to #FundBlackFreedom and ensure our communities receive the resources they deserve!
