Step Up Marin! Building Towards Equity Together – May 20, 2022

“As leaders—elected, appointed, or self-proclaimed—we must have the courage and bravery to stand up, to not accept the status quo as sufficient or enough. Change is hard and scary at times, but if we want more for our communities we have to have the courage for the change that will make life better for all. I want to thank you, Community Action Marin, for being willing to step up and have the courage to move forward for all.” —Benita McLarin, Director, Health and Human Services, County of Marin

Building Towards Equity Together

This extraordinary event was an opportunity to celebrate how together we are creating racial and economic equity in Marin. Community Action Marin has been assisting people across Marin County for over 50 years. By working together in community, we are helping people to achieve well-being by providing the education, mental health, and vital services they need so that all of us in Marin have an equal opportunity to live our lives with dignity and respect. We break down barriers to lasting change and invite you to be part of the action for justice.
