Comunidades Aliadas Tomando Acción (Allied Communities Taking Action) is a grassroot led organization serving vulnerable, minorities and farm working communities. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Comunidades Aliadas Tomando Acción, has been taking on the initiative to be educated, so we can better inform the farmworker and marginalized communities. Due to many disadvantages and systemic environmental injustices this organization was created by farm workers with the purpose of supporting communities of color. We recognize the valuable organizers and powerful farm workers that work in collaboration with other groups to change systems while transforming their lives.
Our mission is to motivate and empower low-income, and farmworker communities to pursue lifelong learning opportunities. We are working together towards social and environmental justice by encouraging education, wellness, developing leadership among youth, and residents. Our vision is to create a culture of well-informed residents and secure healthy environments with more protections and our goal is to continue informing vulnerable communities on different topics such as heat illness prevention, health education, healthy, safe and sustainable environments. We are glad to say that we have increased healthy lifestyle outcomes and have created safe environments in low-income communities. Residents are taking action to live a healthier, informed and more dignified lifestyle.
