The SOL Project

In honor of Advancing Momentum Intern Jaylen's last day, SOL would like to congratulate and highlight his accomplishments at the UC Sacramento Undergraduate Research Showcase! Students from 8 different UCs shared their research via poster presentations. Jaylen's project looked at smoking prevalence rates in California Counties to see if there was a correlation among the African American/Black population.

Great work, Jaylen!

🌎✨ What an amazing day of fellowship, food, and health education!

The SOL Project was honored to participate in the Around the World Luncheon & To***co Awareness and Prevention Day hosted by the Northern District Baptist Association at New Home Missionary Baptist Church on June 6. 🙌🏾

A special shout-out to the youth from the Get Lifted Program who shared powerful poster presentations on the dangers of va**ng, ni****ne addiction, secondhand smoke, and the environmental impact of to***co products. 🚭💨 Their voices helped educate families and inspire healthier choices for our communities.

Guests also enjoyed delicious flavors from around the world, including Soul Food, Chinese, Mexican, American cuisine, a Salad Bar, and a Dessert Bar! 🍗🥗🌮🍰

To***co doesn’t just affect individual health.
It impacts the spaces we live in, the air we breathe, and the communities we care about.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world, and we are seeing a similar story with ni****ne pouches and vapes. To***co waste continues to pollute neighborhoods, parks, sidewalks, and waterways across our communities.

Prevention is about more than avoiding harm. It’s about creating healthier environments, protecting future generations, and investing in communities that deserve to thrive.

It’s time to move toward a to***co-free future. Support us in advocating for reduced access, limiting harmful products, and protecting our communities.

It's the last day of Mental Health Month, but the message remains the same.
Bright colors. Sweet flavors. Trendy designs.
The to***co industry knows exactly who they’re targeting.

Young people and vulnerable populations are often the focus of marketing designed to make ni****ne look harmless, normal, and appealing.

But addiction is not harmless, and prevention matters.

It’s time to move toward a to***co-free future. Support us in advocating for reduced access, limiting harmful products, and protecting our communities.

Some people carry stress silently. Some people smile through pain. And some cope with ni****ne because they were never shown another way.

Ni****ne doesn’t just affect the body. It can fuel stress, anxiety, dependence, and keep people trapped in cycles that are hard to break.

That’s why compassion matters. Checking in on someone, starting a conversation, or helping them find support could change – or even save – a life.

It’s time to move toward a to***co-free future. Support us in advocating for reduced access, limiting harmful products, and protecting our communities.

The SOL Project joined forces with Jerist Roberts of Center for Collaborative Planning and Be Bothered to deliver a powerful presentation on "Behind The Puff: The Real Truth About Va**ng" at the YOUTH HUDDLE during the annual NAN Sacramento Conference at Genesis Church on Sat-May 16, empowering youth with knowledge about the dangers of va**ng, ci******es, e-cigs, and ma*****na, as well as the devastating long-term effects of ni****ne and secondhand and thirdhand smoke exposure. Encouraging students to LEAD BY EXAMPLE, the message was clear: SAY NO TO VA**NG, and INSPIRE OTHERS.

For those struggling to quit, free resources are available from KickItCA by calling 1-800-300-8086 or texting Quit Smoking or Quit Va**ng to 66819. Thanks to Pastor T/Dr. Porter of for partnering with The SOL Project to spread awareness.
