Economic Justice

ECONOMIC CAMPAIGN TEAM

The Economic Justice Team initially launched in June of 2014 with over 20 partners at the table. The Team decided to focus on three priority changes outlined in the community-developed Health Richmond logic model which included:

  • Residents build their capacity and financial stability, and take advantage of employment and other economic opportunities;
  • Create an employment and business environment that brings growth and economic vitality to the region;
  • Residents have coordinated, integrated programs that build family economic stability, employment potential and innovative economic alternatives.

Our current Economic Justice Team strategizes campaigns that focus on the implementation of City Race Equity Plan (housing, economic development, workforce, land use, etc.) influencing how city departments partner with residents that have been historically marginalized. The Team is also working in partnership with the Contra Costa Health Career Pathway Partnership and local academic institutions to support pathways for Contra Costa residents (and particularly disadvantaged populations) to gain access to health sector jobs that provide sustainable wages and opportunities for advancement.
