Dear community friends,
I hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe after the Sonoma Complex Fires. I want to express my condolences to those of you personally affected by the fires. Although it has been tragic in so many ways, It has also been very inspiring to witness the emergency response as well as the outpouring of community support and love; thank you for all of the work that you and your organizations have contributed and will continue to do.
During the fires, we saw the disparities in our community play out. Although devastating, people from more affluent neighborhoods were able to leverage their personal and financial resources to stay with relatives or friends, stay at a hotel, or get out of the area while people from less affluent neighborhoods populated the shelters, beaches and campgrounds. Now, as evacuations are being lifted and people are returning to their neighborhoods, there is a disparity in getting information to different populations.
This is a critical moment for us to realize our vision of creating greater equity and rebuilding our community into a place that is a healthy place for all residents to live, work, play and belong. We could really use your help getting health and safety information out to our community, especially our populations facing the most disparities.
Here are some ways you can amplify the outreach right now:
Again, thank you for your leadership during this disaster. Gracias.
Kim Caldewey
