DPH workers lead the charge for a fair, transparent, and equitable plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccines
When told vaccinations for frontline workers at Laguna Honda would have to wait until the first two weeks of January 2021, Nebyat Negaci, a 10-year employee at Laguna Honda, was determined to change that.

Alameda County COPE Co-Chair Andrea Mullarkey Reflects Back on Inauguration Week
“Last week’s inauguration felt like taking a deep, cleansing breath of fresh air. Gender and racial barriers were broken, young people, Black and brown people, queer people, immigrants, people with disabilities were on the dais, more closely representing our United States than any White House stage in the past 4 years.
