Comunidades Unidas /Communities United (Cu)

Comunidades Unidas (CU) is an organization founded in 1999 that fights to build the social and political power of people who identify as Latinx immigrants(including undocumented folks) living in Utah. We defend the human rights of our community by connecting them to the social service programs they need to prosper and with opportunities to organize to transform themselves and their community. At CU we are transforming ourselves to create Utah a state where our Latinx and immigrant community has the courage to take and use their social and political power in favor of their collective interests. To create a state where our community can live being authentic and true to themselves. We want to make Utah a place where immigrants' humanity is recognized and immigrants can find a path towards their liberation. Comunidades Unidas lives the values of love, respect, advocacy, inclusivity, and social justice. This is how our values are reflected in our work: It is our love, inclusiveness, and respect for the Latinx, immigrant, and undocumented community that leads us to fight for social justice, and inclusion, and advocate for every member of the community equitably. Together, and guided by these values, we can tackle the injustices that face our community from the roots in order to ensure liberation for all.
