Organizations Filed Purposes: Alianzas mission is to transform the socio-economic conditions of the Coachella Valley so that people in all communities have opportunities to prosper.

Better Schools: Alianza and its partners, including parents and educators, work to bring restorative justice practices to local schools as a means of creating positive learning environments and improving educational outcomes. The campaign also advocates for transparent and responsible educational spending that best helps at-risk students.The Community Justice Campaign for better schools met a total of 34 times during the year (Feb. to June 30, 2020) for strategy meetings, retreats, one on one meetings and other meetings with Riverside County. The team engaged with over 60 parents, students, and caregivers in school budget training, trauma informed training, virtual restorative justice circles via zoom, and engagement at school district meetings.

Environmental Justice: Alianza and partners work to see that environmental justice is incorporated into long-term government planning practices and that resident input is incorporated into plans for the Salton Sea. In the past, this campaign has advocated for more public transportation in rural communities and community representation on local boards and commissions.The Environmental Justice campaign partnership team met eleven times on a biweekly basis from the month of February to June 30 of 2020, engaging around 18 to 20 youth and residents on topics around the Salton Sea and AB617 air quality. Due to the pandemic, the meetings that were happening twice a month with community residents had to stop. Community meetings resumed later in the year, adjusting to virtual and once a month meetings.
