Unidos Vencemos

Campaña por Una Comunidad Limpia Segura y Habitable / Campaign for a Clean Safe and Habitable Community is a campaign to improve the quality of life for the people who live work and play in Boyle Heights. We believe that the people who live in the neighborhood and the institutions that represent them and serve them are equally responsible for the maintenance and improvement of the neighborhood. We started with seven neighborhood committees cleaning their alleys and streets and grew into a neighborhood movement seeking a better lighted alleys, paved streets, and an improved safer traffic pattern for the people who live in Boyle Heights that brought several improvements into Boyle heights this year.

Our Councilman, Antonio Villaraigosa mentioned and congratulated our campaign in a press release. We also appeared on an October 14th article in the East Side Sun
