| "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! Click here to see the last edition of Grassroots Power News about the Equal Voice Campaign For more information about the campaign, take a look at the fact sheet , and website www.equalvoice2008.com. 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.
