About Us
Union de Vecinos
is a grassroots community based
organization that promotes civic participation, democracy, and the development
of community power in Boyle Heights (East LA) and the City of Maywood. Our
members represent all sectors of our community: tenants, homeowners, families,
youth, seniors, immigrants, low income families, working class families, and
small business owners. Union de Vecinos
started in 1996 fighting against the demolition
of the Pico Aliso public housing projects. We have grown to an organization of Neighborhood Committees promoting economic and
environmental justice, civic
engagement, affordable housing, and
building healthy and stable community neighborhoods. We do this through
community organizing, popular education and direct action.
