The Central Valley is in crisis — and our communities are feeling it every single day.
Join **Poder Latinx** and **ESCAA** for a community-centered conversation on the affordability challenges hitting Bakersfield and the broader Central Valley hardest. From skyrocketing healthcare costs to unaffordable utility bills, working families are being forced to make impossible choices — and we’re here to talk about it, organize around it, and fight back together.
At this event, we’ll discuss:
– Healthcare Costs — Why are so many Central Valley families going without care? We’ll break down the barriers to affordable healthcare and what we can do about it.
– Utility Costs — With energy bills climbing higher each year, we’ll explore how rising utility costs are squeezing households and what policy changes are available.
– Community Power — Learn how you can take action, make your voice heard, and connect with local leaders and organizations fighting for affordability in our region.
Whether you’re a longtime resident, a community organizer, or someone simply struggling to make ends meet — this event is for you.
Come ready to share your story, ask questions, and stand in solidarity with your neighbors.
