Do Justice. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly.

A Hub of Learning and Practice around Community Issues

The Micah Center for Social Justice Learning and Practice is a new initiative to connect people interested in making our community more just and equitable. Together, we will lift up the good work being done in the greater Marlborough-Hudson area and examine the ideas that drive that good work. At the heart of its work will be a quarterly forum that features a speaker, a Q&A, and time for conversation. 

Write letters to Voters! Join our non-partisan letter writing campaign.

The Micah Center is hosting a non partisan letter writing campaign urging fellow citizens in underrepresented communities to VOTE.
Using Votefwd.org, Micah team will print and distribute mailing packets with letters that can be customized by each volunteer.
