Vision
Our vision is that schools will respect and cultivate the humanity, collective spirit and resilience of Black and Latino families, and contribute to a shared vision of South LA as a unified community that has power and self-determination.
This would mean South LA schools that:
- Include and respect the cultures of their families and communities
- Genuinely engage parents in decision-making regardless of race, income, language, immigration status, or age
- Actively maintain equal power with parents who effectively hold them accountable
And CADRE as a South LA community-based, independent, parent-led organization that makes parent power a strong, organized, and permanent force to be reckoned with:
- Changing the perception and treatment of South LA parents
- Countering racism towards South LA parents
- Protecting the civil and human rights of South LA parents and their families, especially their right to dignity, education, and participation
