In spring 2020, Governor Newsom’s office and regional partners held seven virtual listening sessions across the Central Valley and Inland Empire with the crucial community and nonprofit stakeholders. The goals of these convenings were to engage with local voices and hear from community leaders about the needs and opportunities for investment in inland California, with particular sensitivity to how COVID-19 and recent events have exposed underlying challenges.

On July 2, the Center for Social Innovation and its research, government, and community partners presented findings and lifted up examples of powerful work happening in the Central Valley and Inland Empire. View the presentation here.
