  • About Us

    Mission

    To engage our communities on the systemic problems we, and our planet, face by organizing and mobilizing those community residents that want to create change through collective power.

    Core Values

    The power of the individual in collaboration with other individuals.

    Fighting for liberation in our society and planet using an intersectional approach.

    Creating safe spaces that utilize anti-oppressive practice and transparency to guide our work.

    Inclusive Statement

    Our coalition seeks to build power for all people. We recognize that history, the economic system, unequal opportunities, and physical/mental abilities have created a non-level field. In all of our activities, internal and external, we will make a priority of the needs of those who are disadvantaged by the system. Our coalition will not exclude anyone based on: race; social or economic status, national origin, sexuality, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, religious belief, or lack thereof, citizenship, or criminal record, including incarceration.
