In this episode, we’re talking about defending real community power. Real change doesn’t happen behind closed doors—it starts with the voices of everyday people, especially those who are often ignored. At RCF Connects, we believe that every voice matters, especially the ones that challenge the usual way of doing things.
We don’t build programs for communities—we build them with communities. That’s how we get real results. Defending community engagement is about more than just showing up. It’s about respect, power, and making sure no one is invisible in their own life.
RCF Connects is proud to stand strong for equity and inclusion, even during tough times. We’re a leader in Contra Costa County when it comes to community change and giving people a true voice.
Welcome our guests: Mariana Moore, Senior Director for Ensuring Opporunity, Armond Lee, Senior Director of Restoring Neighborhoods and Roxanne Carrillo Garza, Senior Director of Healthy Contra Costa. as they talk with our host Suzette Chaumette --we’re digging into how to keep doing this important work and how you can be a part of it.
Tune in to hear real stories, real impact, and real ways to make a difference.
We’re thrilled to welcome back our incredible host, Suzette Chaumette, who brings her signature warmth, insight, and passion to this special conversation.
