Making our Essential Workforce Visible
At Community Action Marin we are focused on supporting family well-being through necessary direct services, childcare services and supports, and social services more broadly to ensure that families are strong, and able to attain self-sufficiency and beyond.
The intersection of public health and social services needs to become stronger, so that we can function as a support system that can help alleviate the causes and consequences of poverty in our community.
To make change happen, it takes the direct work that our organizations do through service provision each and every day, and it also takes our stepping up and into a space of advocacy for ourselves, for others, and for our community.
Family well-being is also about mental health, and the pandemic dramatically increased our stress and anxiety about critical services, jobs, and housing. What our collective work as frontline organizations has shown is that we must use the lens of racial inequity and income disparities to sharpen our focus on how we can keep putting people at the center and how we get to a viable recovery.
At Community Action Marin, we will continue to do what’s needed in the urgent work of increasing racial and economic justice, and invite you to join us.
