Organization Information
Mission Statement
Our mission is to help our community overcome the barriers to its successful integration in American society, advance its organizing power, civic participation, and leadership development. We aim to promote mutual understanding and collaboration with other communities in the pursuit of our vision - a just and fair society in America with equal opportunities for all. We also strive to raise Americans’ public awareness of the legacy of the movement for the freedom of migration and other human and civil rights movements in the countries of the former Soviet Union and this legacy’s international relevance today.
Description
We are a nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of New York since 2011. Our core community are exiles, refugees, and other new Americans from former Soviet countries, but we are open to everyone who shares our values and goals: equal opportunity for all, equitable immigrant integration, and rejection of all forms of hate, aggression, and violence. We are brought together by our own and our families’ shared experiences of living in the countries where Russian has been the language of interethnic communication across borders and by using it in our struggles for a better life for all of us, in defense of our suppressed identities, against autocracy and empire. Among us there are also native speakers of Ukrainian, Tatar, Yiddish, and other languages of the region. Our events and services are open to all regardless of one’s language.
