π Marin County
~260,000 peopleMarin is one of the wealthiest counties in Americaβbut not everyone shares in that wealth. Marin City, a historically Black community built during WWII, was shut out of homeownership programs. The Canal in San Rafael is home to immigrant families paying sky-high rents. Meanwhile, Point Reyes ranching families are being pushed off land they've worked for generations.
These bills help Marin's working families build wealth, protect its iconic ranches, and prepare for rising seas and wildfires.
