Street Level Health Project Community Rally
Oakland's Street Level Health Project held a community rally and press release Monday, July 20th, in response to Sunday night's burglary and vandalism.
The community rally on Monday brought together an amazing level of local support for Street Level Health Project / Proyecto de Salud para Todos. The staff, volunteers, board members, partner organizations and community members of Street Level gathered to speak out against the acts of vandalism and attack, and bring together the community. The rally focused on moving forward with strength, hope and unity to continue and expand Street Level's work in the community. As Jane Garcia, CEO of La Clinica de La Raza, stated, "in the long run this is a small thing, nothing more than a mosquito bite. The important thing is to move forward together." Laura Perez, director of SLHP, expressed during the rally, that "when my staff began to trickle in one-by-one on the night of the attack, I felt like my family was coming back to our home, and something back inside me to have the strength to go onward." Everyone who spoke at the rally expressed their pleasure at seeing so many supporters from so many different communities and organizations, all coming together to build a stronger sense of community in the wake of this attack.
