Community Organizing

CDC works to organize residents around a variety of issues, depending on the interests and needs of a specific community.  

See our Fall 2006 or Spring 2007 Boletines for more information about our organizing activities!!!  (Spanish language only)

Vecinos Unidos (United Neighbors)

Vecinos Unidos is a community organization of residents of Chaparral, New Mexico, including residents from both Otero and Doña Ana Counties.  This is important because Chaparral is split between the two communities and is unincorporated, meaning that residents of each county have different access to services and infrastructure.  Vecinos Unidos has been working on a number of community issues, including natural gas and opposition to a proposed landfill.
