Thank you, Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise! You’re support during this time is giving hope to Gilead House families.

Gilead House stands in solidarity with the black community, and everyone's right to peacefully protest the pervasive structural racism in the United States. The recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, and Tony McDade, reflect a horrific legacy of systemic racism, racial injustice, and senseless violence committed against African Americans. The vast racial disparities in both homelessness and in the impacts of COVID-19 are also stark examples... of this continued inequity. These disparities are perpetuated by structural racism throughout our society, including our criminal justice system, access to healthcare, education, employment, and economic opportunities. Our own community ranks #1 out of California's 58 counties in racial disparity; African Americans account for 17% of Marin’s homeless population, despite comprising only 2% of the county’s general population. We know that racial inequity is one of several causes of homelessness. As part of Gilead House's mission to end homelessness in Marin, we re-commit ourselves to the goals of ending racial disparities in the homeless sector, and to confronting structural racism within our community. We pledge to prioritize our actions to ensure equity structure and training within our own organization, and will continue to collaborate closely with government, church, corporate and other community and social leaders advancing the efforts of racial equity. In pivotal moments such as this, we must stand united in the fight against racial inequity. We thank you for supporting our efforts and ask you to continue the conversation with us. Gilead House Staff & Board of Directors Lord come into our brokenness and our lives with your love that heals all. Consume our pride and replace it with humility and vulnerability. Allow us to make space for your correction and redemption. Allow us to bow down with humble hearts, hearts of repentance. Bind us together in true unity and restoration. Give us collective eyes to see our role in repairing what has been broken. Allow these words to be a conduit for personal transformation." - Latasha Morrison
