COVID-19 continues to force us all to make difficult choices to protect our health. But across the country, people have been forced to make impossible choices long before the pandemic: like between paying rent, putting food on the table, or paying for medication. 

At Health Leads, we’re working toward the day when no one has to make these choices. That’s why we partner with communities to support sustainable health equity movements that start locally and spread nationally.   

• In Boston, we’re building a crisis-resilient food system to eliminate gaps that leave people hungry;

• In New York, we’re making it easier for pregnant women and new mothers to access health benefits and resources; 

• In California, we’re helping communities create new resource navigation systems to support their ability to access and maintain safe and affordable housing.

On this #GivingTuesday, we’re asking you to do more than just give. We’re asking you to make an investment in a new kind of social safety net that empowers and uplifts communities year-round. 

Starting today, every contribution made by December 31 will be doubled — but we only unlock this match if we reach our $35,000 goal first. 

We hope you’ll join us in making a transformative investment in health equity today so no one will have to make impossible choices tomorrow.
