Housing Action
We served Supervisor David Rabbitt an eviction notice yesterday morning.
Housing is a public health issue.
We cannot serve shelter in place orders in the name of public health but not provide support like rental assistance/guarantee of housing.

Rapid Response Network
"Petaluma physician Dennis Pocekay, a Rapid Response Network volunteer, said he is ready to act if ICE enters the community... One way to help undocumented community members is by quickly contacting a well-trained team that promises a rapid response, Pocekay said... 'Many of us see our own families in them, whether ours arrived one, two or three generations ago,' he said."
Racism and Health
I did a TEDTalk in 2016 on Racism & Health. It's still relevant in 2020.
