The Palomares Social Justice Center exists to help address the socio-economic needs and interests of Floreciente and other less empowered communities through advocacy, grassroots outreach, and culturally sensitive services. We believe that every member of the Quad Cities community deserves: • A safe, stable, and flourishing economic, social, and cultural environment for their families. • An adequate standard of living ensuring dignity and individual well-being. • Immediate help in times of extreme vulnerability (unemployment, foreclosure, etc.) without having to face bureaucratic and/or financial barriers. • A life without fear. Our Values • Collaboration and Inclusiveness • People to People Empowerment • Cultural Awareness and Diversity • Equity • Creativity (supporting a space for critical thinking and activity) • Advocacy
