On behalf of Healthy Richmond THANK YOU! 

We mean it, here at Healthy Richmond we appreciate each and everyone of you for your support in the valuble work of organizing for racial and health equity in the city of Richmond and the wider Contra Costa County. 

Healthy Richmond staff, partners and resident leaders have been meeting, sharing resources and moving advocacy strategies to the virtual spaces. We Got This!

These are uncertain and challenging times for everyone in our alliance yet we are focused on making sure staff and community stay healthy and working to ensure that this crisis doesn’t further impact black and brown communities already beset by health and wealth inequities.

We have great news to share with you so PLEASE READ THROUGH TO THE END!

Critical to our collective work moving forward, we must respond in real time to the public health crisis and remain steadfast around equity issues. Issues such as distance learning, access to healthcare treatment and basic needs for undocumented residents such as access to food, housing and relief from lost wages.

Also important to the infrastructure of our broader community, sustaining Community Based Organizations  and Cooperative and Small businesses owned by local entrepreneurs who are also employers for local residents. We are supporting resident leaders and partners to monitor these situations and ensure that our communities are protected and feel safe enough to access vital services.

Thank you to all of our partners and leaders, now more than ever, the expertise from resident leaders and partners are needed and intersecting to work in concert for those most impacted during this crisis. Thanks to each of you for being a part of Healthy Richmond, we got this!

On March 31, 2020 Healthy Richmond and 78 other organizations proudly signed a letter addressed to Governor Newsom calling for the inclusion of undocumented senior immigrants in full scope Medi-Cal.

This legislation titled Health4All Seniors came about as an emergency response to the COVID-19 crisis and would remove immigration status as an eligibility exclusion for Medi-Cal 

As stated in the letter: undocumented Californians provide deeply rooted economic, familial, and cultural contribtions to our communities.

Here at Healthy Richmond we believe in a time of fear and upheaval we must band together and protect our most immediately vulnerable while continuously mobilizing for social justice.

Staff is also sitting on the County Emergency Opperation Task Force; Care for the Undocumented People to get information out to undocumented families. 

Please continue to join Healthy Richmond in our campaign for greater liberation. 

Stay tuned for more updates from us here at Healthy Richmond and everyone be safe and well as we continue to stay vigilant on issues of equity.
