HEAL Ramping up for Election

With seven weeks to election, HEAL is determined to assist in voter registration for individuals who are currently sheltered at Operation Shelter to Home at the Convention Center. Thursday and Friday of this week HEAL members, in collaboration with a few other organizing groups such as Voice of Our City Choir, visited Operation Shelter Through Housing in person to register sheltered individuals.

Eight HEAL members were registered for Housing California conference last week as well, and found the sessions very rich and engaging. HEAL members found the history of racial discrimination housing very interesting, and found the sessions with primarily Black, Indigenous, and People of Color powerful and remarkable. They were moved to hear that the conference was pointing towards all the ways narrative around housing (and its relation to race and health) is beginning to transform.

Our HEAL members, who have been long advocates of Measure A, are excited to help the campaign forward through phone banking, texting platforms, and Town Hall meetings.
