How to build a community coalition | Gladys Vega | TEDxBoston

NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... Gladys Vega has relentlessly pursued equity for over four decades. At the visionary leader and community organizer behind Boston-based nonprofit, La Colaborativa, Gladys has made remarkable impact. She leads with deep listening, fierce advocacy, and unapologetic conviction. In recent years, the organization had a noted role in activating a door-to-door community response to COVID-19 in Chelsea, one of the most affected neighborhoods during the early days of the pandemic. Gladys Vega joined the La Colaborativa (formerly Chelsea Collaborative) in 1990 and became executive director in 2006. She has worked as an organizer and an advocate to insure that the Latino community has a role in determining the ways its needs and concerns are addressed. She believes that empowerment of the individual leads to empowerment of the community and that social action is the vehicle an empowered community can use to achieve its goals. Gladys is the architect of most of the La Colaborativa's community coalitions and has played leadership roles in organizing for immigrants’ rights, tenants’ rights, welfare rights, open space and the environment, multicultural and anti-racism programs, and in numerous grassroots campaigns. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
