Mission

About
SWOP had a great year in 2018-2019, achieving victories in new campaigns and age-old issues, leveraging the power of deep, long-term organizing on local and national levels to have an impact on urgent political moments when community is threatened. Defending against malicious political entities, holding officials accountable, and pushing policies and programs across the finish line. We set out to tackle large issues where local community was disenfranchised, marginalized, and characterized as the very problems they sought to address. Most of these issues were not covered favorably by local media- if they were covered at all. But from SNAP benefits, to education reforms, to air quality based environmental racism, we were able to uplift our issues both in public perception, community engagement, and policy action. The organization and our members were able to see our yearlong goals through to fruition, while remaining agile and engaging in political opportunities as they arose.
