ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Our mission is to provide education and resources to advocate for worker rights, increase socioeconomic and health equity and civic participation of our under-served and overlooked communities of the Central Valley. We’ve created a strategic plan to empower and educate our communities about important issues such as voting, the US Census, redistricting, COVID-19 and other concerns. Valley Voices aims to help make our communities healthy, safe, happy and equitable.
