Nuestra Causa: Rooted in the Mission
Born in San Francisco's Mission District in 2022, Nuestra Causa is a dedicated collective of organizers, healers, and facilitators led by its members and united by a shared purpose: to ignite empowerment through education and action.
We help organize strategic community-led initiatives, fueling movements that uplift marginalized workers, ensure food security for the most vulnerable, foster transformative growth for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men, and champion self-determination in underserved communities.

Hombro a Hombro: Mens Circles
Circles originating through elders with the Compadres Network, Nuestra Causa has grown and expanded its reach through vital collaborations with organizations like the Bay View Boys and Girls Club and, more recently, deep partnership with the Mentoring Men's Movement. Today, Nuestra Causa stands as a crucial source of support and growth for many men, predominantly monolingual Spanish speakers.
We offer essential resources and pathways for personal development to individuals, whether they have been impacted by gangs, the system, or none of the above. Our strength comes from our effective group therapy approaches and the powerful peer-to-peer learning that thrives within our Men's Circles.
Raíz Política: political education
Nuestra Causa empowers communities through political education. We believe that informed communities are better equipped to advocate for their needs and drive positive change. Our workshops cover a range of topics designed to foster civic engagement and understanding. We build education based on the specific needs of a population or pressing issue they are facing.
Nuestra Causa is dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, strategic political engagement, and people-centered campaigns.
We believe that true and lasting change comes from empowering those most directly impacted by injustice, centering their voices and experiences in the fight for a better future. We don't just advocate for communities; we empower communities to advocate for themselves.

Sembrando Esperanza: Food Distribution
At the heart of Nuestra Causa lies a deep commitment to the well-being of our community. Our food program, Sembrando Esperanza (Sowing Hope), embodies this commitment by providing vital nourishment to over 400 individuals and families in San Francisco's Mission District each month.
