Claudia Epperson, former Robertson Road Healthy Start director, has been a Robertson Road advocate for many years. It was Claudia who marched on city hall with children in tow to ask for a park for the area, and it was Claudia who spearheaded the fight to get a lighting district for the Robertson Road neighborhood. Claudia, her mother, Juanita Jackson and her sister, Carole Collins, who is director of West Modesto King/Kennedy Neighborhood Collaborative, and the collaborative in general have stood beside and advocated for the neighborhood in numerous ways. Through negotiations with the city and county the Collaborative has encouraged the residents of the area to stand their ground. The Collaborative has attended meetings of the city council and the board of supervisors with the residents often speaking in favor of the neighborhood at the meetings.
