Helping low-income people, especially people of color, build powerful, effective organizations through which they can change their communities and public policies for the better.
The Campaign for Community Values
Every day, community-based organizations bring people together to solve shared problems. The people most affected by social and economic injustice hold politicians accountable, develop visionary solutions and accomplish together what they are unable to accomplish alone.
Real people with real power can make big change happen: voting rights for women, equal rights for African Americans, public schools for all kids, Medicare, clean water to drink and politicians who dedicate themselves to world peace instead of world war. When America is on the right track, the President and every one of us is called to do our part for our nation’s common good. We look out for one another and take action together.
In this spirit, the Center for Community Change and hundreds of grassroots groups have launched a values based, multi-year campaign to get America back on track.
