A majority of the SLHP team went today to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine together. We are grateful to be included in this tier as frontline workers during this pandemic in the Fruitvale that remains as one of the zipcodes with the highest cases and positivity rates. We are posting this picture to show we are leading by example and encourage that as it become available that you get yours too! Although we recognize the privilege of being able to receive it at thi...s time we will continue to advocate for the most vulnerable communities that we serve also get it as soon as possible. This pandemic has highlighted many of the inequities that have existed and the pandemic exacerbated these issues for BIPOC communities. La mayoría del equipo de SLHP fue hoy para recibir su primera dosis de la vacuna COVID-19 juntos. Estamos agradecidos de ser incluidos en este nivel como trabajadores de primera línea durante esta pandemia en Fruitvale que sigue siendo uno de los códigos postales con los casos y las tasas de positividad más altas. Publicamos esta imagen para mostrar que estamos predicando con el ejemplo y lo alentamos a que, a medida que esté disponible, usted también obtenga el suyo. Aunque reconocemos el privilegio de poder recibirlo en este momento, continuaremos abogando por que las comunidades más vulnerables a las que servimos también lo consigan lo antes posible. Esta pandemia ha expuesto muchas de las desigualdades que han existido y la pandemia exacerbó estos problemas para las comunidades de color y indigenas.

Residents and representatives from a variety of organizations across Alameda County have been invited to support safe, equitable vaccine distribution. While the... State’s framework prioritizes vaccination for different groups of people over four phases, Alameda County has some local control over how those priorities are put into practice. We are seeking input on: vaccine prioritization, how to build more trust, effective messaging and managing misinformation. All meetings will be held via Zoom webinar and open to the public as listen-only attendees, with opportunity for public comment & written Q&A. Meeting notes will be posted regularly here. The first meeting is December 21, 2020 5-6:30pm: Zoom info is https://zoom.us/j/95149644382 or Dial in: 669-900-6833

Dear SLHP Supporters: We'd like to ask for your participation, if you can, on a quick turnaround project to directly improve wellness in immigrant communities in the one of the areas hardest hit by Covid-19 in Oakland, and Alameda County, CA. When Street Level Health Project offers our annual free flu shots this year, we would like to provide our community members with a free bottle of Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 to help boost their immune systems as we move into the Fall and W...inter months. This is a simple, evidence-based approach that can have wide reaching preventative effects. How can you help? If you can commit to buying 10 bottles of one ($40ish) or both ($80ish) of the supplements from the distributor below, please contact our Nutritionist/herbalist Michelle Steinberg asap at [email protected] for further instructions. We hope to secure 120 bottles of each vitamin in the next ten days for distribution with our free food bags. Your support will assist us in immediately getting these critical nutrients to some of the most vulnerable communities. Again, please email [email protected] asap to confirm your participation. She will then confirm which item for you to order from the links below in your own name and give you Street Level Health Project's mailing address for the shipping address on your order. Here is a unique opportunity for you to directly impact the health and wellness of recent immigrant communities in the Bay Area! Please share this post to help spread the word amongst your colleagues and friends! Many thanks!

SLHP continues to support with the ever increasing food insecurity with our weekly food distribution program every Tuesday in providing 110 food bags along with hot meals, USDA boxes, and other basic needs like hand sanitizer, diapers, clothes, etc. We are humbled every week by the stories we hear in food line of the hardships our community continues to face during the pandemic but also the resiliency of our community. This week we started our yearly flu shot distribution. On our first day we provided 58 flu shots! We hope to continue these efforts at the day laborer corners next week. Thank you to the hardworking team if staff and volunteers that keep showing up every week to make this efforts continue.

Check out this story that highlights one of of the day laborers that has participated at Street Level over the last few years and the need to continue to advocate for a Safety net for all! "Undocumented workers make up 10 percent of the workforce in California. Often working as day laborers, domestic workers and other jobs in the informal economy, they contribute over $3.2 billion in taxes, according to the California Budget and Policy Center. For workers like Domingo, sick d...ays are simply not an option. Domingo, 58, tries to take any job that comes his way, but he fell from a ladder while working a painting job, leaving him with chronic pain in his shoulders and arms. Now, he looks for shorter and lighter jobs. Over the years, he taught himself some basic mechanic skills. When jobs are scarce, Domingo will buy a clunker and fix it up to resell for a small profit. These days however, few people are buying cars in the Fruitvale." Some weeks I’ve been able to make some money; others I haven’t been able to make any at all, Domingo said through a translator"

We are grateful that World Central Kitchen is able to support in providing meals to give to out during our food distribution program. It allows to provide meals to day laborers and their families along with access to healthy fruits, veggies and staple goods.

Undocumented Californians are still struggling amidst wildfire smoke, unemployment, and the COVID-19 pandemic. As we continue working with our partners to win a... #SafetyNet4AllofUs, #ab1876 and #ab826 are critical to ensure immigrant families have what they need to put food on the table now. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom #ab1876 #ab826 #HungerActionMonth See more
