Shoutout to our YouthLine interns at CHALK for putting together this highlight reel of SALT's Town Hall, where community members discussed and shaped the future of San Francisco's Pacific Islander Cultural District. It will be the newest cultural district in the city and the first of its kind in the country. It aims to preserve and strengthen the historic Pacific Islander community, promote cultural pride and heritage, and address historical inequities by providing the PI community with resources. 🌺 The district will celebrate its historic launch and sign reveal on Saturday, May 17th 2025. #API #PacificIslander #SALT #Workforce #Reentry #CulturalDistrict #SanFrancisco #BACR

Vallejo First 5 turns 🖐🏽 ! “The first 5 years of a child’s life are absolutely crucial,” says Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderso, as she addresses the room of Vallejo families. “As a former kindergarten and first grade teacher, that is absolutely the truth. These first 5 years are preparing our children for school and they are setting the groundwork for the entire child’s future.” 🪁🧸 Thank you Vallejo First 5 for FIVE years of promoting healthy behavior, social and emotional development, and school readiness for our youngest citizens! #vallejo #first5 #healthycommunities #bacr #bacrimpact #ChildDevelopment

Valerie Tulier-Laiwa, renowned advocate and multi-hyphenate activist for the #SanFrancisco #MissionDistrict (and known as "Mama Bear" in the community) underlines how her education earns her a seat at government's table; but how at the end of the day, community cares about how you show up. "[Bureaucracies] weren't created for us. They were not," says Tulier-Laiwa. "So how do you make them behave for us? How do you reform them? How do you change policies?" Watch Valerie's full interview, packed with insight and her inspirational story, on our YouTube Channel! #CommunityAdvocate #WomensHistoryMonth #BACR #CommunityWarriors #EducationMatters #LatinoTaskForce
