THE FRESNO TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE COMMUNITIES COLLABORATIVE
Bringing together local leaders to identify investments that will catalyze economic and environmental transformation in Downtown, Chinatown, and Southwest Fresno.
Our first Community Steering Committee meeting will be on Thursday, July 20th from 6-8pm at The Californian ballroom, located at 851 Van Ness Avenue.
If you are interested in proposing a project, a series of Proposal Kickoff Workshops will be held in early August. Please visit our website for updates on specific dates, times, and locations.
At the last central committee meeting I made an announcement regarding the memorial for Casey Haggard, who was a transgender woman brutally murdered in Fresno and left to die on the street. July 23 marks the two year anniversary of Casey’s murder; her case remains unsolved despite FBI investigation of the murder as a hate crime and video evidence of the murder.
It is deeply concerning for the LGBTQ community of Fresno that a murderer capable of stabbing someone in the throat unprovoked remains on the loose. Transgender people are murdered at far higher rates than cisgender (not-transgender) people.
To commemorate the loss of Casey and renew calls for justice, I invite all Fresno Democrats to attend this action on July 22nd at 9pm. Flyer is attached.
As some of you may know, I am now an Executive Member At-Large of the LGBT Caucus of the California Democratic Party. One of the primary reasons I ran for the caucus is because I feel that the local Democratic community is largely absent from LGBTQ causes. Democrats love to show up to Pride and wear rainbow colors but when queer people like Imer Alvarado are gunned down on the streets of Fresno, Democratic leaders are nowhere to be found.
Please support the transgender community in a tangible, meaningful way.
Thank you for your time,
Emily Cameron
Executive Member-At-Large, LGBT Caucus of the California Democratic Party

I hope you are all doing well. I am excited to announce that this year Mi Familia Vota Education Fund and Bi-National Health Week Fresno County are putting together the 1st Annual Central Valley Unity Run/Walk to celebrate the diversity of our Central Valley. During these trying times we must come together to remember that we are all part of this great nation and that although our differences may make us unique, we are all “one.” The Central Valley Unity run/walk will be comprised of: mutli-cultural performances, food vendors, health screenings, and much more.
I hope that you will accept this invitation to join us at our event. Please review the attached fliers and I look forward to hearing from you all soon, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
P.S. This will also act as a resource fair for the community and if you would like to table, please let me know.
In Solidarity,
Samuel Molina
