Center for Intercultural Organizing dba Unite Oregon is a diverse, grassroots organization working to build a multicultural movement for immigrant and refugee rights through education, civic engagement, community organizing and mobilization, and intergenerational leadership development.
Leadership Development Programs: Pan Immigrant Leadership and Organizing Training (PILOT). By enhancing the skills, analysis and organizing ability of emerging immigrant and refugee leaders across cultural groups, our PILOT program builds long-term relationships between diverse immigrant and refugee communities and builds the capacity and voice of new communities to affect change. Building Undergraduates through Inclusive Leadership Development (BUILD). Through BUILD, Unite Oregon provides parent programming on leadership development, issue organizing, and mobilizing. Through this collaborative approach the program is addressing systemic barriers to educational attainment for many students of color. Both PILOT and BUILD programs are designed with one guiding principal and outcome: that impacted community members learn the skills and develop tools to advocate on their own behalf, and to position themselves to help train and develop other leaders.
Civic Engagement - Through our civic engagement work, we are able provide pathways for community members to participate in the democratic processes and engage in the issues directly impact them. Unite Oregon engaged thousands of impacted community members, developed new leaders, and improved our own organizational structures in meaningful ways. Ultimately, our work in the field this fall helped us increase grassroots capacity and strengthen our political muscle.
Policy Advocacy - Our members engaged with partner organizations, coalitions, and state legislators on bills of importance to our constituency. Issue areas included: Hate Crime, Refugee Resettlement Fund, and Paid Family Leave that support immigrants and refugees, families and LGBTQ rights.
