This program educates members of underserved communities on their rights, on issues affecting their communities, and on the skills needed for self-advocacy. Special focus is made on leadership identification and development in order to give people the skills to organize their neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces effectively and to train others in these skills. Community members who come through the program will be equipped to advocate for policies and funding for programs such as environmental regulations, tenant protections, and immigrant welfare. Where proposed legislation on relevant issues exists, San Diego Liberation Center will conduct education, support such legislation, lobby for its passage, and encourage voters to support any related legislation or ballot measures. This program serves to counter inequality and marginalization by building equity and political power through mobilizing for new policies, programs or legislation.
