Dire Need to Support Allensworth, CA

The community of Allensworth, CA was the first town in California founded, financed, and governed by African-Americans.

Over the last 100 years it has become known as “the Town that refuses to die. This legacy persists in the wake of flooding from atmospheric rivers, historic snow packs, and human engineering of the waters and waterways throughout California."

As you read this, flooding and flood damage have disrupted the people of Allensworth and this threat is expected to continue through the spring and into the summer. The citizens of Allensworth have asked for our support.

Note: El Camino de la Pascua will pass through Allensworth on Friday April 28.
