Bridging racial divides and promoting inclusivity, Marshalltown Community College hosted “Champions for Change” with three community leaders.
Owner of La Carreta Mexican Grill Alfonso Medina, Marshalltown REM Director Aly Wenner and Elizabeth Medina of LGBTQ leadership institute One Iowa spoke and took questions on issues regarding race, equality and how to fight for change locally.
“Each and every one of us is so instrumental in working towards change and progressing as a community,” Wenner said. “If you have ideas to make the community better always pursue those opportunities and do whatever you can to make this a better community for all of us.”
