Civil Rights We organize, educate, and empower our community to assert our collective civil and human rights. We work together to keep ourselves safe within the current socioecomic system and build power to create communities where power is shared and self-determination is valued.

Dorothy Day Community School The school will train Sisters Of The Road’s community members and cross-class allies in leadership and organizing. The school will also develop and share Sisters’ philosophy of nonviolence as an organizing model. Check out the Empowered Voices Media Project page, an amazing program of the DDCS which has already resulted in innovative, compelling video projects created by folks in our community.

The Systemic Change Program at Sisters Of The Road works to ensure economic human rights (including the right to housing, health care and the protection of civil rights) are realized for everyone in our community, while uprooting the institutions of poverty and homelessness.
- We organize in collaboration with people in our community experiencing homelessness and poverty and across class lines to build power and affect change.
- We engage with our community to ensure our systemic change work is grounded in the individual and collective experiences of our community.
Sisters Of The Road is a proud member of the Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP), the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC) and the Assembly to End Poverty.
