A OneCareNOW event was held in Marin
City in Marin County on Wednesday, December 27. Activists led by
Leticia Jones, the director of the popular after school-program
"Doing Things," gathered at the Senior Center and then
moved on to the Library to talk to people, distribute literature,
and gather signatures.
This event led to a number of future dates to speak to community
groups and show the OneCareNOW DVD "The Healthcare Solution"
in Marin City A predominantly Africa-American community, Marin City
sprang up during World War II when public housing was built for
shipbuilders who emigrated to California during World War II. It
remains a vibrant community, but one where the issue of health care
coverage is an immediate problem for many families.
