We need to give people access to an attorney, because these are unique, difficult situations that having a lawyer, I think, in the room helps a lot. [Evictions] are not straightforward and especially when you add COVID and things into play and the different federal moratoriums, said Matt Ritter, Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives. As lower-income workers continue to suffer disproportionately from the economic fallout from the pandemic, local governments are trying to establish a "right to counsel" in eviction proceedings as a way towards achieving race equity in the court system. What do you think of these efforts? Do you think a program like this can be achieved in Santa Cruz County?

As more people get vaccinated, businesses open their doors and we begin to gather outside of our households, let's remember that COVID-19 is still here and still a serious risk to the health of you and your loved ones. Wear your mask. Stay social distanced. Follow the public health guidelines. Most importantly, get vaccinated when you are eligible. Vaccines don’t just protect you they also protect the people around you. When enough people get vaccinated against a certain disease, germs can’t travel as efficiently and the entire community, including vulnerable populations and those who cannot get vaccinated, are less likely to get sick. Unsure of when you can get vaccinated? Visit https://myturn.ca.gov/ to find out or call our Bridges to Access Vaccination Helpline at (831) 219-8607
