"The Truth is in the people."
Goals:
To achieve social and economic justice CTWO strives to shift the balance of political, economic, and communicative power by bringing the voices of poor people of color to the decision-making table. CTWO works to:
o Forge links between various communities of color to address the common problems of poverty and disenfranchisement;
o Increase the pool of highly-trained, race-conscious organizers of color to work for community and labor organizations that contribute to the long-term struggle for racial and social justice.
o Strengthen the capacity of grassroots organizations to develop and implement effective organizing campaigns that attack the root causes of inequality and oppression.
o Promote race-based analysis and its application to local and global struggles for economic and social equity.
Type of Organization: Non-Profit Organizations
Activities: Coalition and Alliance Building
Geographic Scope: National
We believe that race permeates every aspect of our social existence, and that race has major influence on the way that identities, institutions, and society as a whole are shaped. Racial inequality is a fundamental characteristic of our social order--often interlocked with other systems of oppression like class, patriarchy, and xenophobia--that affects the organization and distribution of social resources, including power, privilege, and wealth.
Change occurs when perceptions of injustice in the racial order, an order structured and enforced by the state, precipitate the development of social movements and organizations that represent racially defined groups, that articulate these groups' perspectives, and that politically mobilize for their interests.
