Equal Voice For America's Families Campaign

"Individually we can make a difference, but together we can make change!"
Luz Vegas, Marguerite Casey Foundation President

The Equal Voice for America’s Families Campaign is a yearlong effort to build
support for a national families-issues platform, created and advanced by
families.  
North Bay families and organizations are involved in the campaign,
forming a united movement of engaged families advocating for social change
on policies that affect their lives.

We are united around the shared belief that
political change begins at home.
Keeping families together is the most revolutionary act there is!

Locally, we hosted a town hall meeting where families voiced the
issues that matter to them to be incorporated into the national
platform.  The North Bay Town Hall took place on Saturday, April 26,
2008 at 1pm
at Pickleweed Park Community Center in San Rafael.
