Driving Down the 99S California

Yesterday, we continued the Central Valley eAdvocacy program with an awesome road trip down the 99 South to Fresno in the Aspiration roadie van. We had the opportunity to meet up with various organizations doing incredible work throughout the Valley including Fresno Barrios Unidos, the Center for Multicultural Cooperation and the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program. It was exciting to meet people and learn more about how we can best serve the online needs of the Valley.
