For MONTHS, Californians in prisons, jails, immigrant detention centers, and shelters were prioritized for vaccines.
Then the state reversed course, appearing to leave those people behind.
TODAY: over 30 groups are asking CA to keep its promise. https://aclucaaction.org/equity-and-community-groups-call-on-the-governor-to-restore-vaccine-priority-for-people-in-congregate-settings/

As @JenAFlory says of people in shelters: "Fear of COVID-19 should not be yet another barrier that prevents people experiencing homelessness from finding shelter, particularly during the winter when living outside carries its own health risks." https://aclucaaction.org/equity-and-community-groups-call-on-the-governor-to-restore-vaccine-priority-for-people-in-congregate-settings/
And for people in immigrant detention centers, as @OrvilleThomas says "vaccinating is just the bare minimum. We must get immigrants out of crowded detention centers and back into their communities where they can be healthy and safe." https://aclucaaction.org/equity-and-community-groups-call-on-the-governor-to-restore-vaccine-priority-for-people-in-congregate-settings/
