"Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice
everywhere. We are caught
in an inescapable network
of mutuality, tied in a
single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one
directly, affects all
indirectly."

The California November 2nd General Election arrived and with it the
opportunity for all of us to have our voices heard! To amplify voices usually
unheard, we launched the Fall 2010 Grassroots Civic
Engagement Campaign!

Drawn from the Marin County Equal Voice Platform, the goal of this campaign is
to strengthen the influence of working-class families and non-profit allies in
shaping policies that will increase opportunities for upward mobility.

This starts with OUR VOTE, by casting ballots that truly support the changes we
want to see!

The Campaign continues beyond the Elections with legislative visits,
letter-writing campaigns, coalition-building events, and much more.

We hope that you--our strongest network of community partners--will take on
this three-part mission with us:

1. Strengthen the voice of low-income families and their supporters to         
shape effective policy solutions that promote and increase economic security
for families in throughout Marin;

2. Build stronger communication and relationships between policymakers
and the communities they impact with their decisions; and

3. Increase accountability on the part of our elected leaders so that the         
concerns of every community are equally heard and addressed when decisions
are made.

We hope to have you and/or your organization as a partner in advancing social
equity in our County!

Let's ENGAGE, PARTICIPATE and VOTE!
