Building Community - Strengthening Marin on Earth Day

Our final lecture of the 2015 series will start an important conversation exploring the intersection of environmental conservation, and social equity in Marin. Adhering to the principle; strength lies in diversity, we must empower all the voices of Marin to be heard. Minority and marginalized voices are critical strands in weaving together a more resilient Marin community. Are these voices currently part of the conservation dialogue in a changing Marin?

Join our two-hour conversation as we explore together, a vision for our future that is diverse, inclusive, and maintains Marin's legacy of environmental stewardship excellence.

• Gain a better understanding of population demographics and projected changes, and how a shift might affect community sustainability and resilience.
