Somos Durham

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. 

Hi folks! We have our upcoming monthly gathering on January 30th.

Feel free to invite others to join us!

In 2024, NC Latine communities showed incredible strength, resilience, and leadership. From amplifying our voices to breaking barriers, we've made strides toward greater visibility and impact. But the fight isn’t over—we’re just getting started. Let’s gear up for 2025 and continue to rise, unite, and build a future where we all thrive. ¡Vamos con todo!

To kick off the new year, Somos Durham will be holding our annual retreat!

We’ll be going through a group strategy discussion around the needs of the Durham Latiné community and hearing the goals and strategies of organizations working with our gente to know how we can best support the work that’s already being done.

The session will take place on Friday, Jan 17th from 1 pm to 5 pm in Durham.

Location will be the large meeting room at the East Regional Library. Please extend this invite to anyone else that you believe would be an added contributor from the community at large.

For those that cannot attend on the 17th from 1 pm to 5 pm, we will have a recap meeting on January 18th from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.

After the election we met for a Community Fitness Event led by @jacqui.aherrera and @sisoymichael ! 💪✨ We came together to recharge, focus on our physical and mental wellness, and create a space to channel our feelings through movement. Whether you were energized or needing to release some tension, it was beautiful to connect with so many in our supportive community.

Big thank you to all who participated in the group exercises and mindful movement at Duke Gardens. You all made this event so special! 🌱 

Let's continue to stay grounded, empowered, and ready for what's next, together. 💙

One of our favorite fall events was celebrating Día de los Muertos in Durham with a beautiful blend of tradition and activism! 💀🌸 We honored the lives and legacies of important political figures who fought for our rights, while also educating our community on the power of voting. 

From flower-making to the photo booth, we came together to remember, reflect, and register to vote! 🗳️✨

Closing out the year by highlighting some key events in the fall. We're starting with the Power to the Polls event organized by @durhamforall and the @carolinafederation !

Before Election Day, we gathered como comunidad to talk about the power of our vote and the importance of showing up for our gente! 💥 

We heard a powerful testimony from our member @sisoymichael on the power of voting! Our voices matter NOW more than ever—let’s make sure we use them! 🗳️
