[4/15] Raise Your Voice for African American-Led Organizations

Join us in our second demand to create funding opportunities for African American-led Organizations. As we wait for the African American Holistic Wellness Hub, we can’t settle for less than what others receive. Allies are welcome to join our voices.

We need over 40 voices speaking up on Tuesday! We need allies, accomplices, and especially black males who are the most harmed and therefore have the most to lose by not having representation.

When

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 9:15 AM.

what is happening, and why is it important?

An excerpt from our file:

What are we asking you to do?

  • Our request to you is to provide verbal and/or written public comment to the Supervisors, expressing the necessity of urging them to support funding for
  • African American Innovation Programs
  • Keep in mind that public comment will be limited to two minutes per speaker, so select a few of the points to focus on, and add your own story about why you care about this issue, and why you support this request.
  • When one suffers, all suffer. If you believe and support that, please join us in this call to action by participating at the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Meeting on Tuesday, April 15th, and every following Tuesday that a meeting is held until we get what we deserve.
