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 building 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 our lives.

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