Although Marin County has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country, even now there are still those getting ill, as well as those from whom the economic impact has not gone away. The county may be beginning to take its masks off in indoor settings, but we as a community and agency, can’t let our guard down. Community Action Marin is continuing to ask those who are able to step up and contribute to our Step Up Community Fund so we can continue to build momentum, seize opportunities, and make a difference for all of us as we continue to co-create the better normal.

Six months after the start of the pandemic, the leaders of Canal Alliance, Community Action Marin, and Legal Aid of Marin, joined together with local government, nonprofit and foundation leadership to call for action to protect Marin County residents hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the aim to best position the community and county for recovery. We called to place the voices and interests of hardest hit Latinos at center. While we already have some concrete wins, we will continue to push for equitable policy during the pandemic and beyond.
