We are thrilled to announce that ECCO has hired Marven Hyppolite as a full-time racial justice organizer, thanks to a generous grant from member congregation UU Church of Greater Lynn. Marven will be working with leaders across ECCO, focusing on organizing Black communities and young people of color on the North Shore.
Marven Hyppolite, ECCO’s new organizer!
Marven comes with a wealth of experience as a longtime community leader in Lynn and beyond. Marven grew up in Lynn as an active member of St. Mary’s Hatian community. After graduating with honors from UMass Dartmouth, Marven served for five years as a caseworker and district liaison for Congressman Seth Moulton, focusing on immigration, housing, social security, and labor issues, and was a threetime candidate for city council in the city of Lynn. He serves on the Executive Committee of HarborLight Community Partners, our close ally on affordable housing work, and is a member leader at Neighbor to Neighbor, ECCO’s close ally in Lynn.
Please join me in welcoming Marven to the ECCO community by sending him an email at marven@eccoaction.org. He looks forward to connecting with you soon!
