What is Love Lives in Marin? Learn About MIC's Latest Initiative!

Love Lives in Marin nurtures a positive, welcoming environment in Marin, and cultivates a culture of love throughout the county that reshapes our public discourse. Love Lives in Marin aspires to rise above the fray and speak with and for those whose voices are over-shadowed and marginalized. We seek to create an inclusive community where everyone is welcome.
