A Call For Community Action
So what is Community Action and how can it help you?
In the first official episode of 'The Business At Hand,' we're going to discuss the history of Community Action, how it came to be, and how it is able to help you not only with your business endeavors, but potentially many facets of your life.
Community Action has a long history starting with an idea between President John F. Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson, and has been fought for throughout the decades following its inception. Today's version of Community Action has evolved from its initial concepts, but has forever carried on the forward-thinking ideas that people should be able to pursue 'The American Dream,' regardless of where they are in their life.
