Issue-based Organizing
Our members lead us in campaigns that make tangible changes in our members’ lives and build power for justice in Latinx, immigrant, and working-class communities of color. We organize to push for changes at local, state, and national level in coalition with hundreds of other groups that have a similar vision of a future where everyone has their basic needs met, where community members are directly able to participate in democracy, where systems and structures are designed to serve and support those that are most vulnerable and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Our work is led by issue committees, groups of members that work together to determine the problems in their community, find solutions, build broad support, and then lead campaigns to enact policies that lead to those solutions. Our committees are spaces that allow members to learn new skills, build community, and take on leadership roles to ensure our work is entirely led and determined by those most impacted by the issues we work on. This allows our members to transform the balance of power that usually exists in our government and institutions and work towards making these spaces directly accountable to the community.
Worker Rights
We believe that every worker should be treated fairly and equitably, should be paid a living wage, should not be discriminated against or exploited based on their race, language skills, or immigration status, and be supported by local and statewide policies that protect workers and support their ability to organize for their rights.
Climate Justice
We fight for a world where all of our community members can breathe clean air and drink clean water, where we are actively tackling climate change, addressing the disproportionate harm done to Black and Brown communities locally and globally, and reducing and preventing future harm.​
