This quote gets to the heart of what a community-centered organization Rafiki Coalition is. We see people not just as people but as family. And the people who come to Rafiki naturally build bonds with our staff and return for more free, culturally affirming care.

Rafiki Coalition is truly the Black community’s friend in health and wellness. Our impact is not only in the health and wellness programs and services we provide but also in our ability to connect with, relate to, and uplift our community members. We’ve been serving the community for 40 years and look forward to serving it for 40 more!

That’s why we’re celebrating this milestone with a 40th Anniversary Summer Soirée and we encourage you all to join us in celebrating four decades of community healing.

It is with profound honor that we announce Congresswoman Lateefah Simon, U.S. Representative for California’s 12th Congressional District, Deputy Whip for Policy, and Vice Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, as a Political Champion Service Award honoree at our 40th Anniversary Soirée.
 
Congresswoman Simon has spent her career doing what Rafiki has always done: showing up for the people the system was built to overlook, and refusing to accept that it has to be this way.
 
Her work — from criminal justice reform to transit equity to her current role representing California’s 12th District — is rooted in the same philosophy that founded Rafiki in 1986: that community-led change is the only change that lasts.
 
Her journey is a testament to an unwavering commitment to social justice, social equity, and the preservation of Black families. We’re honored to celebrate her alongside our 40th anniversary.
 
Join us on June 10th at 5 PM at Pier 27.
