Alyssa, a CNA, is a long-term Richmond resident who is a member of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/NNU). She is excited about increasing the involvement of local healthcare professionals who live and work in Richmond and Contra Costa County within the RPA.
Alyssa has deep experience in building strong, engaged coalitions — regularly organizing at the local, state, national, and global levels. Her recent efforts include fighting to save local hospitals and healthcare infrastructure, including Doctors Medical Center (DMC) and Alta Bates Medical Center.
Alyssa hopes RPA and CNA can continue collaborating on long-term solutions, such as a Medicare for All system, starting with the state of California.
