Quick facts about Community Partners
- What is Community Partners?
- Community Partners is a community development publicly-supported charity (509(a)(2)) based in Los Angeles, United States. Community Partners offers expert guidance, essential services, and a strong dose of passion to help foster, launch, and grow creative solutions to community challenges. For more than 20 years, hundreds of individuals, groups, foundations and other institutions have worked with Community Partners to create new nonprofit projects, establish coalitions, and manage major philanthropic initiatives to benefit the region. Our mission is to accelerate ideas into action to advance the public good. One such idea is the Justice for My Sister Collective. The Justice for my Sister Collective uses the arts to create safe spaces within marginalized communities to initiate collective healing and develop local leaders to combat gender-based violence. Our vision is to create spaces where through popular education and art, women and men of all ages build support networks and alliances to understand, prevent, and thereby end the cycle of violence against women, girls, and gender nonconforming folks. The JFMS Collective is a project of the prolific Los Angeles-based nonprofit Community Partners. Our programming was originally birthed from the transnational outreach campaign associated with the award-winning documentary "Justice for My Sister." Launched in 2011, we are the first organization of its kind that was sprouted as a grassroots multi-sectoral outreach campaign led by survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse to prevent gender-based violence using the arts. Our use of documentary and leadership development on a transnational level, with cross-cultural skill-sharing, curriculum, live video chats, and social media initiatives, are other distinguishing aspects of our work. We have two chapters: one in Guatemala and the other in Los Angeles, and partners in several other countries that manage our campaign and distribute our educational materials locally.
