What We Do

How ONE Northside Builds Power to Fight for Justice

People-powered issue campaigns

Our community members are the experts on the problems they face, so we work together to push for concrete solutions.

Leadership development 

We bring people together who share our values and train them in the skills they need to make real change.

A democracy that works for us

We mobilize and educate our members to participate in the democratic process, because when our government is led by poor and working-class people it will put the needs of the people and the planet before profits for greedy corporations.
