Our Objective: Prepare our Community
The mission of Community Ready Corps (CRC), a Black grassroots organization, is to organize and empower the community towards self determination and equity. We believe that a community should be able to engage with power wherever power is expressed and that resistance must be rooted in achieving a self-determined existence. Disrupting the current paradigm and pioneering new systems means connecting to and unleashing the creativity, ingenuity, and courage that is already present.
Hurricane Katrina provided a dramatic example of how inequitable distribution of relief efforts compounded disenfranchisement and loss of life in low-income Black communities. A decade later, these communities have not recovered. Here in Oakland, we have experienced this first-hand in the recovery from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
