Our Mission: The
Center for Intercultural Organizing is a diverse, grassroots
organization working to build a multi-racial, multicultural
movement for immigrant and refugee rights.
Our Vision: We
envision a strong multicultural democracy inclusive
of all.
Our Areas of Focus:
We focus on four program areas that together catalyze
systemic change - education, civic engagement, community
organizing and mobilization, and intergenerational leadership
development.
Our
Values:
- We believe that we are strongest—both as an organization
and a society—when we respect each other, empathize
with one another and struggle together toward justice.
- We believe that an intercultural solidarity movement
must be multilingual as well as multicultural.
- We believe that diverse communities benefit when
they come together to exchange knowledge and experiences.
- We believe in positive grassroots action to confront
oppression.
- We believe that the people most affected by an issue
should be the individuals and communities leading
and advocating for solutions.
- We encourage individual and collective leadership
and innovation in creating meaningful change.
- We endorse peaceful conflict resolution as the best
method to achieve social and economic justice.
- We believe that being conscious of our global human
interconnection can engender peace—at home and abroad.
