Our member organizations have come together under the structure of WCLC so that we can accomplish results and hold each other accountable. Principles of accountability provide a structure for membership organizations. They ensure that member organizations have a stake in the outcomes of the coalition and it helps to ensure that each organization carries out its obligations, helping the coalition achieve results. Accountability also promotes confidence from the public, including local officials, private institutions and businesses.
Once all coalition members have agreed on a campaign, demand, or action, all members of the coalition must publicly support the decision. This creates a “united coalition,” projecting the voices of community and labor as once.
MOSAIC CULTURAL COMPLEX WOULD LIKE TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS COALITION.
