We work to build multiracial spaces with a level of respect that values our individual historical and cultural journeys and responds authentically to the history and barriers that have kept us apart.

 

We work for more sustained collaboration between our diverse communities to promote more equitable policies in the areas of criminal justice, education, job creation, health, transportation, environmental justice, housing, and immigration reform.

 

We encourage people to participate at any level where change is needed, from the belief that grassroots efforts is not only needed but fundamental to hold accountable our local, state and national representatives and to voice our demands and achieve them.

What we are doing :

 

· In April 2009, we start a series

· of events called “Open discussion: why Blacks and Latinos must struggle together?”

 

· In August 2009 we organized the First Black Latino Unity Cookout!

 

· Starting in September we will start the Black Latino Round Table discussions, a grassroots effort to bring neighbors, parents, workers, housewives, in the community to talk about the issues and look for ways to struggle together whether in solidarity or in common struggle.
