Alliance to Develop Justice Secures Commitments from Elected Officials for Social Justice

Alliance to Develop Power October 13, 2010 0

The Real Story The headlines are familiar: The economy is fragile, Economists meeting in Denver share gloom as they consider next step, unemployment is high: one in 10 Americans is unemployed – not counting the people whose unemployment benefits ran out – and in communities of color, the unemployment rate is higher. We turn on the TV and see images of fear and anger that fan the politics of division.

We at the Alliance to Develop Power, however, also see a different story, one where solutions are being shaped by the people most affected by policies created to benefit the minority of wealthy institutions and people. Where respect, dignity and shared prosperity are valued. Where everyday people are coming together to build vibrant sustainable communities. Where all people are valued and participating fully in our democracy. This version of the story may not make it into the headlines at FOX news, but it will be front and center at our ADP Convention 2010 on Oct. 16.

More than 700 community delegates will be in attendance to continue to move forward our vision and to celebrate our many gains of the last year, including:

Time to Follow Thru on Your “Big Tent” Promises Senator Elect Brown

Alliance to Develop Power January 22, 2010 0

Springfield == The Alliance to Develop Power (ADP) is the first community organization in the state to call upon United States Senator-Elect Scott Brown to follow up on his promise of creating a “big tent” by working collaboratively with those that are hurting the most in the economic crisis — especially low-income people and the unemployed, African-Americans, immigrants, and those living in distressed communities.

ADP members are calling upon Senator-Elect Brown to stand up for all families in Massachusetts by supporting Just and Humane Immigration Reform that includes a path to citizenship, an Emergency Public Jobs program to help rebuild Massachusetts’ battered economy by creating living wage jobs, and enacting stricter banking regulations to ensure that the needs of people are put before the bankers that caused this crisis. ADP is the first grassroots organization to move beyond partisan politics by calling on Senator-Elect Brown to support a comprehensive package that will create a just and equitable economy that works for all families.

Who: Alliance to Develop Power / ADP

What: Press Conference

Where: ADP Headquarters, 130 Union Street, Springfield, MA
