The COVID-19 crisis has sparked advocacy efforts across the nation. Organizations and communities are taking action to demand not only immediate relief but long-term solutions to our most pressing social injustices.
We are proud to support the following efforts driving progress in racial equity, access to essential resources, caregiver and community health worker rights, data integrity and integration, and countless other issues that have gone unaddressed for far too long.

Rey Faustino, MPP, Chief Strategy & Impact Officer of Alluma talks about Filipino American nurses fighting against COVID, the challenges of accessing social services & essential needs during COVID, the importance of data democratization, and why diversity is a must in boardrooms.
Vaccine distribution could still be a bright spot in our COVID response - the moment that community members and organizations can work in authentic partnership with a range of institutions to deliver a life-saving essential health resource broadly and equitably. And it is an opportunity to put us on a path to create more equitable, lasting systems of health. Let us know how you can be part of the movement.
Join leaders from a range of health equity-focused organizations who will present case examples and share recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination plans, partnerships and processes to improve access, build trust, and invest resources for underserved communities.
As we work to to flatten the next COVID-19 curve – the increased demand for essential resources like food, housing and income supports – it is critical that we lean on data to inform the path forward. In this post written with several of our Bay Area partners, we review various data sources to show how social services systems have been impacted by the pandemic and discuss the power of harnessing data in partnership with community input to shape interventions.
The outcome of this election may open doors and opportunities for much-needed progress toward racial equity, and we have put important, productive miles behind us over the past four years. But undoing years of systemic racism that impacts everyone’s health is multi-generational work. We hope you can take the time you need to recover and recommit ourselves to the fight for health, dignity and well-being.
