1/We thank Assemblymember Akilah Weber, MD for her leadership championing policies that reduce #HealthDisparities & advance #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice. The #HERJFund is fully aligned with Akilah Weber, MD’s vision for a more equitable CA & can help provide a critical missing piece for success.

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. Governor Gavin Newsom #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 #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! Governor Gavin Newsom #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! Governor Gavin Newsom #CALeg

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. Governor Gavin Newsom #CALeg Take Action: bit.ly/HERJLetter

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

In LA County, Black women experience pregnancy-related complications at four times the rate of their white counterparts, and Black infants have a two to four times higher mortality rate compared to infants of other racial backgrounds that persist across income, (1/3)
