What we do
We believe communities ought to determine their own futures
We bring this belief to life by training community leaders and professional organizers to build power and take direct action on problems facing their communities. We:
Listen Deeply
to their community for what they are struggling with and what their vision is for the future.
Research Effectively
to better understand problems that members of the community face, and to determine what might be done to solve those problems.
Organize & Take Direct Action
so that those who hold the power of decision making are held accountable to putting people first and solving the problems that their community faces.
