Community to Community Development

Bellingham, WA

“Our beliefs are based on the notion that society should arrange its relationships so that everyone has equitable access to the fundamental democratic processes affecting their everyday lives. C2C is led by women of color that have lived the reality that U.S. history reveals; that people of color, women, and poor and low income communities have been excluded from the promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” so eloquently expressed in our great country’s Declaration of Independence. We also know that many have been denied access to the justice guaranteed in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Because of this knowledge based on real life experience; Community to Community’s mission and work is influenced by the community organizing model of Cesar Chavez and the Farm Worker’s movement in California and Washington State and the values and principles of the World Social Forum process developed in Porto Alegre Brazil." – C2C Development's website
