Organizing low-income & working families for social and economic justice in Arkansas.
Our Belief:
When people join together around a common purpose they can accomplish great things through planning and action.
Our Vision:
We envision an Arkansas and nation where every person has access to affordable healthcare, secure housing, a livable income, and a nurturing community.
Our Method:
We are a grassroots organization that brings low-income and working families to together to fight for social and economic justice. We believe that those who are most directly affected by policies or problems are the ones who can speak most powerfully about the need for change, by sharing their experiences and leading successful campaigns for system change. We build community among those who need better healthcare coverage, or healthier housing, or more services in their communities.
At Arkansas Community Organizations, we help:
- build communities around problems that need to be solved,
- develop an action plan for creating the change communities need,
- train people on how to share their stories to make the case for change,
- bring that case to those with the power to make changes through direct action campaigns, and
- stand together with persistence and hold those in power accountable until we get the changes we need.
