Center for Community Change

Description:

The Center for Community Change is a progressive social justice organization whose central project is to support the emergence of one or more movements for social and economic justice in the U.S. The Center strives to transform the national debate and national politics as well as the institutions, economic systems and policies that affect low-income people and working class people, especially people of color. The heart of their work is helping grassroots leaders build strong organizations that bring people together to become a force for change. To do this, Center for Community Change helps people develop the skills and resources they need to improve their communities and change the policies and institutions that adversely affect their lives. The belief is that poor people themselves, through organizations they control, need to lead efforts to create social justice. Center for Community Change (CCC) helps advance organizing in three ways: • TA and training to groups -- sharing the experience and knowledge of the CCC staff through on-site meetings, trainings and on-going consultations. • Support for intermediary organizations (groups or networks that support the grassroots groups on the ground, i.e., National Organizers Alliance, Gamiliel Foundation, etc.). • Issue / Public Policy work - local groups can be strengthened, energized and developed by getting involved in state-wide or national policy issues and campaigns. CCC connects groups to larger policy efforts when there is a desire to be part of a larger movement such as the National Campaign for Jobs and Income Support.
