The Gamaliel Foundation and its affiliates create national issue campaigns to improve life in local neighborhoods and metropolitan regions. At a time when a former Gamaliel organizer, Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United states, these issues, grown from grassroots listening campaigns, are: Immigration, Healthcare, Transportation, Jobs, and Housing.
The Gamaliel Foundation continues to provide its affiliate organizations with tools to train and develop leaders and staff who create powerful statewide and local organizations. It is an international organizing network of 51 state and local affiliates in 20 states and four provinces in South Africa: Soweto, Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. We are now working with projects in Great Britain: Wales, Birmingham and Manchester. Our organizing includes more than one million clergy and lay people of many faiths.

The mission of the Center for Community Change is to develop the power and
capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to change
their communities and public policies for the better. Founded in 1968 to honor
the life and values of Robert F. Kennedy, the Center is one of the
longest-standing champions for low-income communities and communities of
color.
Through the Campaign for Community Values, CCC works with 200
grassroots organizations in 40 states - neighborhood, statewide, faith-based,
immigrant, racial justice and other constituency-based organizations working in
low-income communities and communities of color - to project the values of
interconnectedness and the common good into our political debate and into
concrete, achievable public policies on health care, jobs, immigration and more.
