Nonprofit to offer free emergency preparedness workshops
In a recent “Community Conversation” on July 15, Corazón Healdsburg announced that it will be offering a series of free online emergency preparedness classes in both English and Spanish with Nuestra Comunidad, a local nonprofit that helps educate folks on emergency and disaster preparedness through public outreach and training.
Peaceful Protest
Enough—On June 1 and 2, protesters gathered on the Town Green between 3 and 6 p.m. to demand equity and action in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of white police officers. While social media posts and activity in Santa Rosa prompted some local fears, the group that gathered on the Green was peaceful and supportive, chanting and inciting passing cars to honk in support.
