Healing Together
By supporting each other through the COVID-19 pandemic and protecting each other, we saved lives and created new opportunities to heal together. This important work is just beginning as we continue to heal our community from the harms caused by years of systemic racism.
Resources to empower
Protect Your Health

Community Building
- SF African American Arts and Cultural District: A group of concerned and interested community members working to preserve, strengthen and promote our cultural assets and diverse communities.
- SF Black Wall Street: Established in 2021 to ensure that Black San Franciscans were fully represented and included in the city’s economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. SFBWS makes sure Black San Franciscans receive the investment, technical support, and access to sustainable opportunities we deserve.
Emergency Preparedness
- When disaster strikes, we come together to help each other. Getting prepared is about knowing your neighbors, saying hi to the regulars at the local market, and staying in touch with family and friends. SF72.org
- Whether you’re just starting out or a preparedness pro, gathering your emergency supplies is easy. A good rule of thumb is to have supplies for about 3 days, or 72 hours. SF72.org/supplies
- A little foresight can go a long way—make a plan now, so you know how to find and get in touch with your people when something happens. SF72.org/plan
