Arieann Harrison
Founder + Executive Director
Founder and Executive Director of Marie Harrison Community Foundation, Inc. Arieann Harrison is a resident of San Francisco District 10 and has lived and worked in the Bayview Community for 30+ years.
Her work includes providing social services, employment opportunities, community resources, and engaging in environmental advocacy with local D10 residents, taking an all-inclusive, solutions-based approach to providing good information for the best outcome that will lead to preservation of life. #CanWeLive has become the rallying cry of a community that has gone long overlooked when it comes to social, environmental, and economic justice.
We are here to support our community in finding a path forward within systems that do not see these challenges in communities of color as a human rights issue. We have strong community ties, allies, and partnerships from various walks of life who are passionate about uplifting and fighting for something bigger than themselves – with the knowledge that it will take all of us to push for change.
If you want to know how you can help? You got greatness in you because God put it there, so go out and change the world.
