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. 

As our comunidad continues to experience and witness so much trauma, we invite you to come back home to yourself by connecting to Pachamama (Madre Tierra) through body movement. Our intention is to allow our bodies to be and feel, to connect with our ancestors and spiritual guides, and to remember freedom as we engage in resistance and rebellion. Circles will be held on April 19, May 3, and May 30. Registration is open for April 19. Link in bio.

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.
