Why Central California Needs a New Story
The Story of the Unfinished Work.
The Central Valley, the agricultural heart that feeds the entire nation, carries a heavy burden: deep poverty, seasonal work instability, the nation’s worst air quality, severe shortages of specialized healthcare, critical cultural and language barriers, soaring rates of chronic weight-related diseases, and urgent mental health issues. These challenges impact every family, school, and hospital in California. But this is only half the story. This region is home to some of the most resilient, hard-working, spiritually-strong, and community-focused people in America. Our movement begins here because these communities are most ready for transformation.
