Concord Communities Alliance

Working for a Just and Equitable Concord

Concord Communities Alliance (CCA) is a grassroots organization of Concord, CA residents, and other supporters.  We believe everyone should be able to comfortably live, work and raise a family here, but we recognize that is not currently the case. CCA exists to inform, organize, and mobilize Concord residents to achieve more just and equitable conditions for all who call our city their home.

About Concord Communities Alliance

Concord Communities Alliance strives for a more affordable, inclusive, and respectful Concord for ALL residents, which we believe can be achieved through engagement, dialogue, and empowerment. Everyone should be able to comfortably live, work, and raise a family here, move about Concord efficiently and sustainably, and do so in ways that respect and facilitate the ability of their neighbor to do the same. 

CCA exists to inform, organize and mobilize Concord residents to achieve more just and equitable conditions for all who call our city their home—to move beyond the status quo to political, economic, and social conditions consistent with the shared American values of mutual respect, fairness, democracy, and the common good.

HOUSING & HOMELESSNESS

Unhoused folks are our neighbors as much as any renter or homeowner in Concord. They deserve patience, persistent outreach, and as many support services as we can provide until they are placed in more permanent housing. CCA works with many community partners on outreach and advocacy for unhoused members of our community.

CCA also advocates for affordable housing and tenant protections that will ensure folks who are housed can stay housed.

COMMUNITY SAFETY

At CCA, we believe in a safe and equitable Concord for our most vulnerable communities. Our goal is to unite and empower citizens to demand services that uplift Concord residents – services like housing, mental health support, transportation, education, and healthcare. We work with citizens and community organizations to gather data on funding, resources, and community impact. We use this to fight for transparency, civilian oversight, and an ultimate reduction in surveillance, gang databases, and police patrolling in our communities.

CONCORD NAVAL WEAPONS STATION

The development of the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) will be one of the most significant projects in Concord’s history. The decisions made will affect affordable housing, local labor unions, open space and environmental preservation, and transit planning (among many others) which are vitally important aspects of Concord’s future. Our goal at CCA is to engage with residents and community stakeholders and advocate for the needs of the most impacted.
