As a culturally responsive organization, our outreach and communication strategies are ethical, accurate and resonate deeply with the diverse communities we serve. Collectively, we are a team of public health professionals, community health workers and experts in various fields, all of which are committed to bridging gaps in healthcare access and education.

Let's honor the #right things.
Urging America to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day is an important effort to correct an inaccuracy within our history books. Columbus Day’s original intent was to honor the culture and history of the people living in the Americas, both before and after Columbus’ arrival. But, in reality, Columbus’ arrival led to the widespread death and loss of Indigenous lives. Let's honor the right things.
