Grassroot organizations can reach families and individuals that many institutions cannot. Trusted community organizations can help provide outreach and education regarding health and human services. Providing essential health services in rural areas is essential to ensure that we are able to test and vaccinate communities appropriately and fairly. Trauma and Addiction services are particularly needed to continue during the pandemic and integrated into Covid-19 services so that we reach some of our most vulnerable communities. Organizations like Barrios Unidos New Mexico need our support to continue their important work during this Pandemic.
