CAMDEN PARENT UNION
EQUITY OR ELSE
Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities are still plagued with economic, education, housing, safety and health inequities fueled by systemic racism for communities of color, the pandemic has highlighted the entrenched racial inequities that have pervaded nearly every quality of life aspect that most white Americans take for granted.
We are demanding local & federal investment in our “quality of life” platform which will address the state-sponsored sabotage of basic quality of life institutions in our communities such as education, safety, housing, health care, climate and economic development.
WE CHOOSE COALITION
Our goal is to de-silo Camden residents and community groups by building power with a multiracial coalition that is committed to creating community driven solutions to dismantle social and educational inequities, and injustices. We stand against corruption that includes but is not limited too: school privatization, closures, colonization, gentrification, school to prison pipelines, institutional and systemic racism.
CAMDEN HARVEST FEST
The idea of the "Camden Harvest Fest" is to give Camden Residents an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of receiving. Our City has been under great strain for many economic, social, and spiritual reasons. During the holidays many families feel the brunt of poverty and economic hardships. "Camden Harvest Fest" will be our way of saying thank you to our residents and show our community appreciation with a family style dinner.
