Somos Durham
Todos tienen Voz y Voto
Everyone has a Voice and a Vote
Nuestro nombre es Somos Durham para reflejar todas nuestras acciones que van más allá de solo la votación.
Durham está en una posición única para crear un espacio político enfocado en la comunidad Latino Americana, donde nuestra comunidad pueda interactuar y llevar a cabo varias acciones necesarias para avanzar juntos. Al integrar nuestras raíces culturales y sabiduría ancestral en el compromiso cívico a nivel municipal y del condado, podemos ayudar a que nuestro movimiento liderado por la comunidad impulse el cambio y sirva como modelo para otros condados de Norte Carolina.
Our name, Somos Durham, is to encompass our various actions that go beyond voting.
Durham is in a unique position to bring a Latiné-focused political home for our comunidad to interact with to power several actions necessary to propel our comunidad forward. By integrating our cultural roots and ancestral wisdom into civic engagement at the city and county level we can help our leaderful movement drive change and serve as a model for other NC counties.

Quiúbole amigues! This month’s social was such a vibe at the People’s Solidarity Hub! 🌟
We had a great time sharing how our spring actions are shaping up and how y’all can get involved and offer support. We even called up our US Senators to practice holding elected officials accountable.
It was so exciting to connect with everyone! 🙌🏽 Keep en eye out for our next social! 👀
Somos Durham is about building collective power within Durham’s Latiné community through political education, cultural healing, and strategic partnerships to transform systems of oppression and create pathways for intergenerational joy, wellness, and liberation.
One piece of our collective political education this year will be book clubs that provide us space to connect with each other through learning and expanding our political frameworks and our political imaginations. For our first book club of 2025, Somos Durham is bringing people together who identify as Latino/a/x/é to read and process Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America, by Paola Ramos.
We will meet 4 times over April and May to collectively discuss and make meaning of the messages in this book. Sign up via the link in our bio!
Quiúbole amigues! This month's social will be in the teal building at the People's Solidarity Hub. You can park behind the teal building.
Feel free to bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to share with folks!
We'll be sharing out how our spring actions are coming together and how you can get involved and offer support!
We're excited to welcome y'all 🙌🏽
🌟 Somos Durham strategy session was a game changer! 🌟 We gathered to dive deep into the needs of Durham’s Latiné community, listening to the goals and strategies of local organizations doing incredible work. 💪🏽❤️
As key organizers and trusted community members, we’re so grateful to everyone who joined the conversation. This work is stronger when we come together, and we couldn’t imagine doing it without you! Let’s keep pushing forward, supporting each other, and building the future we deserve. ✊🏽🌍
👉🏽 Stay tuned for future opportunities to get involved, collaborate, and continue building on the momentum we’ve created. We’re just getting started, and there’s so much more ahead for all of us. 🌱
