What are the challenges faced by marginalized communities when it comes to housing?
Housing expert and author Leah Rothstein and Golden Gate Village Resident Council president Royce McLemore will dive into the complexities of access to affordable housing at a Community Forum, Saturday, Sept. 14 at 7 pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, 101 Donahue St., Marin City.
“Housing Justice? Not for All” is part of Come to the Table, a monthly event about issues that impact the Marin City community. It is an initiative led by St. Andrew’s Rev. Floyd Thompkins to dispel misconceptions about Marin City and take a proactive step to build bridges with Marin County neighbors who may never have visited the town.
“We believe that this has the potential to inspire positive change, promote equity, and create a more unified Marin County community,” said Thompkins.
The Forum is preceded at 5:15 pm by a catered dinner for 50 people — 25 from Marin City and 25 from elsewhere in the County. The guests have the chance to schmooze, perhaps discuss one of the “talking points” on the table and, most importantly, get to know one-another. Both the dinner and the forum are free to attendees — thanks to generous donors who believe this initiative will create connections among county residents.
Reservations are necessary for the dinner, but the forum is open to all, though reservations are suggested. Visit www.ctttmarin.org, the Come to the Table website, for more information and reservations.
Come to the Table takes place on the second Saturday of each month. Topics for future events include education on October 12, Marin City history, science and technology, and mental health.
