The Southeast Community Organizations' mission is "to share knowledge and power, to organize and to advocate WITH the people who live and work in our neighborhoods. We build leadership to seize opportunities and to work for social and racial justice."

Throughout everything our priority continues to be on racial justice, and we will continue to collaborate with coalitions to make systemic change in our district, and in our city.

We collaborate with local citizens, to help residents find their own personal power and play an active role in our political, social economic systems. We help neighbors of all backgrounds find and use their voices to make a difference in their local community.

This is done through various efforts, including:

• Supporting committees that allow for discussion and decision-making at a grassroots level,

  Coordinating information distribution so that renters in our district understand their rights.   

• Advancing social and racial equity by helping neighbors find their voices, and bringing them together through community gatherings.

• Ensuring that neighbors are aware of construction, transportation, housing and business development in our community.

• Exploring and advocating for environmental issues in our parks, wetlands and along the river, such as at Pig's Eye and Battle Creek Regional Parks.
  
  We listen, we advocate, we educate and we act!
