SURJ Marin

Join SURJ Marin and MCFL on Sat. Oct. 19 as we close out this Poverty and Racial Justice Series by taking a look at the ways in which voter disenfranchisement can help perpetuate cycles of poverty. We will explore the systems that make it almost impossible for people of color to run for office, to vote in elections and to have their interests represented in local and national government. How does this impact a racial group’s ability to emerge from poverty and to fully experience the rights and benefits of American citizenship? Join us as we discuss this topic with people who have seen these impediments at work in their communities!

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Marin and MCFL have teamed up to present a series that examines the deep connections between racism and poverty that are encoded in global, national and local economies.

This online event series is generously supported by the Friends of the Marin City Library and SURJ Marin.
