Equity on the Mall

Equity on the Mall 2025

On April 23, 2025, we gathered on the West Steps of the California State Capitol to unite voices across the Valley to push for change using the San Joaquin Valley Health Fund’s IHHEEL Policy Platform—covering immigration, health, housing, education, environmental justice, land use and digital equity.

Equity on the Road 2024

In 2024 we took Equity on the Mall to the Valley and traveled to three cities across California. The San Joaquin Valley Health Fund and The Center at Sierra Health Foundation worked alongside community partners, elected officials and funders to host three (3) Equity on the Road Town Halls in the communities of Bakersfield, Madera and Stockton. The Town Halls rose for EQUITY across all San Joaquin Valley communities (rural, urban- and unincorporated) by uplifting local leaders’ efforts within the issues of Immigration, Health, Housing, Education, Environmental Justice, Land Use and Planning, and Digital Divide—the SJVHF IHHEEL Policy Platform.

Equity on the Mall 2023

In 2023 the San Joaquin Valley Health Fund, The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, community partners and elected officials gathered at the State Capitol for our annual event to highlight the community-driven agenda for the San Joaquin Valley. Together, we created a space for community leaders, nonprofit leaders and elected representatives to come together and talk about what matters to Valley residents.
