Documentary series, The Raising of America, partnered with the city of Kansas City, MO and Mobilizing Action for Resilient Communities (MARC) to share the story of how the community used the documentary series to achieve a historic win for all city employees: 6 weeks of 100% paid parental leave!
Kansas City is featured in The Raising of America's August newsletter, including a one hour and 7 minute webinar hosted by MARC, featuring MARC advisor Kathryn Evans Madden, who shares the journey of how the city used the documentary series as part of a strategic community effort to achieve paid leave for it's city employees. The webinar also includes information from Director of Public Engagement for The Raising of America, Rachel Poulain, on how this series can be used to create change in communities.

Congratulations to Kansas City and everyone who worked so hard to accomplish this monumental achievement! Thank you to the MARC advisors and communities for being instrumental in sharing this story.
