About Us
Our canvassing and outreach are a first point of contact to learn which issues are affecting Latine families: Somos Siembra NC carries out extensive community outreach efforts including door-to-door canvassing, surveys, and community events to bring visibility to what issues are impacting the Latine community in North Carolina.
We refer families to appropriate service organizations, legal service providers, and other resources to meet their needs based on the conversations we have with our communities. Our hotline established in 2016 continues to serve as a resource that people can call to get a referral and support. Somos Siembra NC maintains a fund for families that are impacted by harsh immigration enforcement actions and other disasters and partners with organizations like Church World Services to manage the fund.
Our goal is to connect Latine families to each other and invest in their leadership: Somos Siembra NC holds leadership development, training and educational events that connect Latine leaders to each other and to other racial and social justice organizations.
We use our online platforms as a unique space for Latine organizers and leaders in North Carolina by providing online and physical English and Spanish language materials that educate community members on key issues impacting the Latine community in North Carolina.
We believe in building the capacity of Latine families in North Carolina to improve their communities and impact the policies and institutions that affect their lives.
We know that providing education, mentoring, and coaching for Latine community members and their supporters lead to this impact.
We invest in strengthening, connecting, and mobilizing Latine communities to enhance their voice through collaboration with other community and advocacy orgs in our state.
