Marissa Grass

Marissa Grass (she/her) is a self-described local government nerd. When she is not at community events with her two kids, she likes reading, camping, and hiking with her friends and family. Her career in local government spans areas such as city planning, utilities, garbage and recycling, emergency management and parks and recreation. Marissa ran for class president in 8th grade because of her belief that individual action, collectively, is what will change the world. Her book, A Kids Book about Civic Engagement, is a blueprint for how to do just that, and (spoiler alert!) you don't have to be a grownup to do it. Marissa is excited to work with Politisit to make civic engagement a family activity.
