Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Center for Participatory Change's mission is: Igniting collective power. Transforming systems of oppression. Healing in community.
Circles of Work: It is urgent that Black communities-as survivors of anti-blackness, white supremacy, and state-sanctioned violence-claim space to heal. The Racial Equity Circle's Black Love program is a place to break bread, form new relationships, and build community. There is also a pressing demand for institutions and organizations to challenge their culture of white supremacy. The Black Learning Exchange trains Black folks to become racial equity facilitators and use their lived experiences, shared wisdom, and collected resources to develop a curriculum around racial equity. CPC believes in Popular Education, a collective learning process in which communities identify shared truths and come together to generate change. CPC also believes in integrating youth voices and centering youth leadership. Through Seeds of Hope/Semillas de Esperanza, the Popular Education Circle trains youth workers and educators-
primarily immigrants, people of color, and single parents-to become popular educators, contract with local organizations, and provide relevant youth programming in movement spaces. CPC believes it's essential to create multilingual spaces where everyone can participate in community organizing. CPC's Language Justice Circle provides interpretation training through a social justice lens. LJC also provides gathering spaces for Spanish speakers, youth interpreters, and speakers of native languages to discuss language loss and reclamation, build relationships, and heal together.
interCAMBIO/exCHANGE is a new program that brings our three Circles of work together. In our current political climate, the people most affected by structural inequities are being attacked, imprisoned, deported, and worse. Although the few in power are trying to divide us, CPC is intentionally creating spaces for people to build trust, form meaningful relationships, collaborate, and heal together. interCAMBIO/exCHANGE is a space for Black, Brown, and Latinx people to learn about each other's languages, identities, and cultures while sharing food and personal stories.
