The mission of the Latina/o Community Organizing Network/Red de
Organizadores Comunitarios is to serve as a support network and resource
exchange for community organizers of Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Latino
descent working in these communities. We utilize the Paulo Freire principles
of community organizing, as well as participatory research. Using a variety
of methods/technologies we seek to bring together community and university
based organizers to reflect upon our accomplishments, challenges and to
celebrate our important work.
