Mission

The mission of the Union of Minority Neighborhoods is to confront threats to civil liberties and human rights by working to ensure skilled, committed, grassroots leaders of color can effectively organize on issues of concern in their communities. UMN is a multi-issue and hybrid organization. Based in Boston, we bring our mission to life by supporting emerging leaders and broad-based coalitions.

Our goal is full civic engagement for people of color: no more second class citizenship, no more being a political afterthought, no more token political leadership of color, and no more needing well-meaning people speaking on our behalf.

We work for power. We work to win.
