In August 2009, the Community
Action movement will mark an extraordinary milestone, the 45th
Anniversary since the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 was signed into
law by President Lyndon Johnson. Community Action has been a vibrant,
proactive network for 45 years—helping people, changing lives, and
making American a better place to live—and this occasion will be
commemorated with a variety of special events. Success stories and
“Community Action Pioneers”—those who have been in the movement since
the beginning—will be honored by local agencies and on the national
level during the 2009 Community Action Partnership Annual Convention in
Philadelphia. Please email photos and materials on your CAA's Community Action Pioneers to Avril Weisman .
