Fresno BHC Campaigns

At Fresno Building Healthy Communities, our campaigns are driven by the voices and needs of the people who call Fresno home. From protecting our natural treasures to fighting for clean air, fair healthcare, and equitable transportation, each campaign reflects a shared vision for a healthier, more just, and more vibrant community. Together with residents, partners, and advocates, we are building momentum for lasting change that ensures every neighborhood in Fresno can thrive.

Current Campaigns

Caltrans #StopPollutingSouthFresno

Everyone knows that expanding freeways increases traffic and worsens air pollution. But Caltrans wants to force a dangerous freeway expansion in South Fresno despite overwhelming opposition from residents. That is why we are suing them. Our communities face extraordinary environmental and health challenges. We do not want more freeways; we want safe streets and quality infrastructure that serves people.

Better Roads, Safe Streets

Better Roads, Safe Streets is the citizen-led coalition supporting the Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act (Measure S), the November 2026 ballot measure that would replace the expiring Measure C. Backed by local labor groups, community organizations, and Fresno County mayors, the coalition gathered signatures to qualify the measure, which is focused on funding road repairs and transportation safety improvements in every neighborhood, with strict oversight, transparency, and accountability built in.

Driven by Bias: An Analysis of Police Stops in Fresno

All people in Fresno deserve to feel safe. However, the Fresno Police Department uses racially biased traffic stops to profile people of color, thus denying that security to a significant number of Fresno’s residents. This practice undermines community safety, inflicts harm on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, and wastes time and public dollars. We need a new vision of community safety and reinvestment to keep our families safe and together.

Protect the San Joaquin River Gorge

Fresno Building Healthy Communities supports access to clean, safe parks and outdoor green space and recreational opportunities for everyone! However, for most Fresnans, access to quality outdoor space is few and far between.

Care 4 Fresno

The Care4Fresno campaign is dedicated to ensuring that public dollars are allocated equitably and with proper oversight, guaranteeing all Fresno County residents have access to quality healthcare when they need it, where they need it.
