FALL PLANNING CONFERENCE 2026
The 2026 conference will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026
The Executive Board decided to keep the three 2026 social concerns for 2027: Affordable Housing, Community Safety, and Immigration. This Fall Planning Conference will focus on hearing brief updates on our social concerns, learning more about the current state of MARCC, and participating in vibrant, “cafe-style” conversations about MARCC to voice joys and concerns.
“To forego the luxury of separate ways when a common path can be found.”
Call to action
MARCC seeks local resolutions informed by the community to improve social concerns that impact the Cincinnati metropolitan area such as housing, displacement, and homelessness; builds better relationships between the community and police and justice reform; and other issues that relate to improving equal access basic to a thriving metropolitan region. At times, we call on the larger public beyond our network of judicatories and delegates to participate in campaigns, events, and other opportunities. Connect with us through our monthly electronic newsletter and visit often to see what’s new.
Recent Projects
Our organizing efforts improve life for vulnerable residents of Cincinnati. We target policy initiatives that impact housing, healthcare, community-police relations, immigration, and justice reform.
