How do you change a 40+ year long Negative Narrative?
Multiple generations of South, East, and downtown Stockton residents have suffered the impacts of the City's policies of economic apartheid and corruption. This, in turn, created the deadly outcomes of abject poverty, crime, institutionalized racism, and the community narrative that residents do not feel like they belong in Stockton and are not welcome in the city in which they live.
Through Hector’s work in empowering community members to have both a choice and voice, he identified that there are many different organizations providing services in the community but that they were not working together to maximize their impacts.
Hector came together with then-Councilmember Michael Tubbs to form the Reinvent South Stockton Coalition to provide a vehicle to bring together 40 organizations and align their efforts, resources, and services to better address the multitude of issues facing the South Stockton community.
