BIG NEWS! @GavinNewsom & @Cal_OES announce partnership with @HopeAndHealFund to launch groundbreaking statewide campaign to educate communities most susceptible to gun violence on the importance of CA's Gun Violence Restraining Order law (GVRO). A tremendous honor and privilege!
We are delighted to welcome our newest Steering Committee member @tylervjackson. Tyler was drawn to our intersectional and comprehensive approach to gun violence reduction and our focus on community-based solutions. https://t.co/oSgxjCGn1Z
Must-read piece in @CalMatters today by @Bmalte32 and @CEO_CalWellness that discusses the future of gun violence prevention in California and how we must look at gun violence as a chronic problem, not as an episodic problem. Communities hold the answer! https://t.co/y7tVX5qcwj
@Bmalte32 and @MaryKKopp were honored & thrilled to join colleagues, friends and partners at the White House celebrating the passage of Bipartisan Safer Communities Act which will provide munch needed funding for community-led violence interruption strategies.
From Kansas City to Los Angeles and Atlanta to Chicago, communities are modeling strategies for equitable growth.

Formerly redlined neighborhoods are 5-12 degrees hotter in summer than their greenlined counterparts. Redlined neighborhoods have fewer trees and parks that help cool the air and more paved surfaces that absorb and radiate heat. https://t.co/Lpy8d7ESCx

Only by embedding an explicit race, gender and social justice lens into place-based work, @AndrewsNancy argues, can the Community Development sector reach the goals it set 50 years ago, when it first emerged from the civil rights movement. @urbaninstitute https://t.co/vb7kVtIAfX

@sffed#climatechange means more disasters. More disasters mean more and more disproportionate negative forces on people of color. If we’re serious about #racialequity, it is essential to consider #climate and #health as well
