Members of the Coachella Valley Equity Collaborative got a chance today (Feb. 17, 2021) to share with California Gov. Gavin Newsom the work being done to help vulnerable communities in the Coachella Valley protect themselves against COVID-19. The governor visited Sea View Packing in Coachella, one of our COVID-19 vaccination event sites for farmworkers. Thousands have been tested and vaccinated with the support of Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD, Supervisor V. Manuel Perez and Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia. #powerxcovid #powerinyourhands #coachellavalleyequitycollaborative #RUHS Conrado Barzaga Riverside University Health System - Public Health TODEC Legal Center Lideres Campesinas Alianza Coachella Valley Galilee Center El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center Pueblo Unido CDC Youth Leadership Institute

Gov. Gavin Newsom visits a farm in Coachella, one of the vaccination sites for farmworkers. Vaccinating farmworkers is an effort of the Coachella Valley Equity Collaborative and the Riverside County Department of Public Health. #PowerInYourHands #PowerXCovid #DHCD #RUHS #CoachellaValleyEquityCollaborative

When we started the vaccination efforts for farm workers it was unclear how many people we could help. Thanks to Supervisor V. Manuel Pérez and to Kim Saruwatar...i’s leadership and commitment to health equity we have been able to established a sustained effort. In just a few weeks more than 3,000 farm workers have received their vaccine doses. Today we are at Tudor Ranch, where it all started three weeks ago, giving second doses to the first farm workers who got vaccinated then. Thank you Alejandro Espinoza, Robin Bishop, and Salomeh Wagaw for your dedication and hard work. See more

Vaccines continued for farmworkers Feb. 12 in at Oasis Distributing, despite a temporarily delay because of high winds, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Coachella Valley Equity Collaborative, Riverside University Health System - Public Health, TODEC Legal Center, and more. Thank you, Marco Revuelta News and Telemundo 15 Noticias, for this great feature. #powerinyourhands #powerxcovid #coachellavalleyequitycollaborative #vaccinecovid19 Conrado Barzaga https://kesq.com//los-fuertes-vientos-no-detuvieron-el-pr/

The pandemic is disproportionately affecting communities of color, so equity must be factored into rolling out the vaccines.
