Communities Speak

Eight innovative projects brought communities together around story

Communities Speak, a major component of the Council’s California Stories initiative, consisted of eight multiyear statewide projects designed to address critical issues in targeted communities. Communities Speak projects took place from 2002 to 2005 and addressed a range of issues, from the crisis in affordable housing in Marin to the effects of rampant development on people in the Inland Empire.
