We Belong in California

Building a California for All requires not only a shift in power, but a shift to a more inclusive culture.

A culture where all people — no matter their origin and orientation, background or belief — can be seen, heard, and affirmed for who they are. And ultimately find their state of belonging.

There is immense power in belonging.

It’s a universal need of every human in order to feel safe to express who they are, exercise agency, and in turn build a healthier, more just world.

Share your own story of belonging

By listening to, collecting, and amplifying stories, we hope to strongly affirm the inherent dignity of those who’ve been othered, challenge those who question that dignity to dig deep and ask why, and remind everyone of our shared humanity.

SHARE YOUR STORY

The matter of Belonging is core to our theory of change as a health equity-minded foundation.
