Building Equity Through Latino Wealth, Place and Power
ÇïϼÂ×Àí vows to:
- Work diligently to ensure that San Francisco honors its commitment to remain a strong sanctuary city.
- Implement San Francisco’s passed Proposition N, which gives noncitizen residents the ability to vote in school board elections.
- Support our allies fighting for fair and just immigration policies.
- Always stand up against entrenched xenophobia, racism, homophobia, misogyny and any other form of discrimination.
- Uncompromisingly protect and stand up for our immigrant families.
Policy & Advocacy Goals
ÇïϼÂ×Àí engages and mobilizes the community around public policy issues that advance the asset building agenda of San Francisco’s Latino residents and merchants. These agendas promote economic self-sufficiency through research, organizing and advocacy efforts on issues related to community land-based planning, community asset building and citywide policy initiatives. ÇïϼÂ×Àí’s priorities are housing, education, financial services and business.
Making Change Happen
ÇïϼÂ×Àí’s Policy Program develops, analyzes, and advocates for public policies that support a strong and stable working-class community in the Mission District and further strengthen low-income Latino residents throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
ÇïϼÂ×Àí is investing in the following policy areas:
- Community-Based Land Use Planning: Advocating for smart and just land-use policies that encourage affordable housing, protect small businesses, create jobs for Mission residents and prevent displacement of community members.
- Community Asset Building: Working to develop strategies to build wealth for low- and moderate-income community members and to ensure that the community has a greater capacity for financial self-determination.
- Citywide Policy Initiatives: Working collaboratively with other nonprofits and City agencies to ensure that public policies support the needs of low- and moderate-income families and small businesses.
ÇïϼÂ×Àí is about innosolutions for the Mission District, and beyond.
