Alexandria Human Rights
We are a coalition of three teams: Palestinian Human Rights, ICE Out, and Community Voices. Together we raise awareness about Alexandrian communities that are impacted by humanitarian crises.
Environment
We advocate for increased green buildings and spaces; renewable, affordable, and distributed energy; and expanded sustainable waste management in Alexandria.
Education
We advocate for greater use of restorative practices (versus punitive measures, such as suspension) in the Alexandria City Public School system.
Transportation
Our shared community goal is to achieve a safe, high-capacity, equitable transportation system that provides access to both joy and jobs.
Housing
We advocate for the working class to ensure affordable housing, stronger tenant protections, and resistance against gentrification.
At present our project teams meet collectively at the monthly action meeting. To join a project team, reach out to one of the team leaders or write to grassrootsalexandria@gmail.com. To hear about the action meeting, and other events, read or subscribe to our announcements.
Our active projects are listed above. After accomplishing local victories in each case, our Healthcare and LGBTQ project teams are not currently active.
