DHAF organizes at the grassroots level developing natural leaders with hands-on training through collective action working to establish Vecinos Unidos (Neighbors United) chapters in some of the most disenfranchised regions of California. In it’s 15 years DHF has formed chapters in the Central Valley, including Kern, Tulare and Fresno Counties. Arvin, Lamont, Weedpatch, Greenfield, Bakersfield, Tulare and Lindsay are in the new CD22.
