Community Action to Fight Asthma

Launched in 2002, Community Action to Fight Asthma (CAFA) is a network of asthma stakeholders across California focused on peer learning and collective action on a comprehensive range of policy priorities, both clinical and environmental. We host monthly virtual meetings of the CAFA Network focused on peer learning, expert presentations, and the identification of state policy goals. We also provide bi-annual CAFA Summits and opportunities to educate or advocate with California legislative staff on a range of issues related to housing, air pollution, and clinical care.

Participation is open to any individual or organization working to reduce the burden of asthma in California. This may include advocates, Community Health Workers, clinicians, health educators, or anyone working on asthma in a health department, health plan, hospital, clinic, environmental health or justice organization, social justice organization, and or healthy housing organization.
