Community Action is a national and locally-focused network of organizations that connect millions of children and families to greater opportunities. It started in 1964 under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty” and the advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Economic Opportunity Act (EOA).
