Equity Indicators & the People's Budget: Week 4 - Public Health Join Community Ready Corps Allies and Accomplices for this deep dive into the Equity Indicators Report for the City of Oakland. Released last year, it clearly shows the effects of white supremacy on our community.

This week's workshop on the Oakland Public Health Equity Indicators is the fourth of a 6-week series to help us develop a deeper analysis and to call attention to the kinds of changes needed in the City's budget and policies. Event is free. More info about this session and upcoming sessions here. Location: ACCE, 2501 International Boulevard, Oakland |
