So far, 2021 has proven to be a year of ups and downs. At San Diego for Every Child (SDeC), we recognize both the challenges and opportunities emerging from the last year and a half and continue our work towards a healthier, more equitable, more resilient San Diego. Your support and partnership makes this possible. Among the challenges has been a spotlight on long standing inequities, hate, and racism. San Diego for Every Child stands in solidarity with our Asian American and Pacific Islander community members. Our coalition denounces the increasing prevalence of hate and violence against our AAPI neighbors, and stands in ally-ship with this community and others in exposing racism and calling for the safety and security of all persons. STOP AAPI HATEoffers resources to raise awareness of and combat anti-Asian racism. As the work continues toward recovery from the pandemic, San Diego for Every Child is pursuing a exciting effort: Resilient Communities for Every Child. In this guaranteed income pilot project, we seek to not only help our community's children, but also to learn from different methods of serving families experiencing poverty in potentially more efficient, cost-effective, dignified ways. We already know that more cash in people's pockets keeps families financially secure while also stimulating our local economy. Which is why we are pleased to have the support of Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, and National City Mayor Alejandra Sotelo-Solis, all who have pledged to be our elected champions in this effort. |
