ABOUT
VISION STATEMENT
How do we create long-term systems change
with a sense of urgency?
How can we organize everyday people to make this happen?
Our vision is that every community, regardless of zip code or community demographic – should have equal access to a basic human needs and a high quality of life. Neighborhoods with good housing, from block to block. Clean streets, clean water and clean air. Safe, and affordable. Quick access to
hospitals and healthcare, quality schools, and economic opportunities. We believe that everybody has a right to live, no matter their race or place in the world. Our vision is to abolish everything that stands in the way of achieving safe, sustainable neighborhoods.
We intend to make this vision reality by building local people movements that research, identify and amplify issues that impact community. We seek to abolish systemic poverty and crime through providing popular education, community organizing, movement training and innovative community development. We envision a world where ALL STREETS, ALL PEOPLE are thriving, succinct and equipped with the tools necessary to survive an increasingly global world.
