(pronunciation: mar)
The Marion Alliance for Racial Equity (known as MARE) was formed June 2020, as a result of a growing urgency for our community to address racial inequities and injustices.
We exist to elevate the voices and experiences of people of color in Marion, IA.
We also aim to create spaces and a culture in Marion, IA that is welcoming and inclusive for all people.
