About Us

Vision

We envision a North Carolina where Latine communities are seen, valued, and have equal access to the resources, representation, and respect needed to thrive socially, economically, and politically.

Why

Somos CLAVE was created in response to the growing need for a unified Latine voice in North Carolina. For years, community organizations worked tirelessly but often in isolation, advocating on issues like healthcare, education, workers’ rights, and immigration without a shared space to connect strategies or amplify impact.

Who we serve

Somos CLAVE works with Latine communities throughout North Carolina—urban and rural, immigrant and U.S.-born—uplifting the voices of families, workers, students, and leaders across the state.
