Our Work
THe New Normal
Our work for racial justice, economic justice, and an inclusive democracy is centered around an intersectional framework we call the New Normal. It isn’t meant to be a fixed platform with specific policies, but rather present the guiding principles for our organizing, civic engagement, and advocacy work.
The framework is based off of a simple idea. To build the New Normal we need to divest from systems, policies, and leadership that are harming our communities and invest in those that allow for our communities to thrive.
Divest
- Racist & Violent Policing Systems and Practices That Harm Black and Brown Communities
- Mass Incarceration That Both Marginalizes and Profits Off Of Black and Brown Communities
- Corporate Tax Breaks and a scarcity mentality That Are Starving Our Communities Of much needed resources
Invest
- Community-Driven Public Safety Made Up Of Healers, Peacemakers and Guardians
- Equitable Public Education That Supports Black, Brown, and Low-Income Communities
- Truly Affordable Housing And Strong Tenant Protections
- A Strong and Inclusive Democracy That Actively Engages Every Voter
- A Transformed Immigration System Rooted In Respect and Dignity For All Immigrants & Their Families
