At Casa Atabex Ache, we believe that systems of oppression and poverty breed violence & cause “dis-eases” in communities of color that dramatically impact our health and our ability to have control and power over our lives. Utilizing a Human Rights framework, Casa’s empowering programs teach Young and Adult womyn of color to name the sources of our oppression (including systems and institutions), identify their impact on our mind/body/spirit, and additionally, learn healing and community organizing skills. Through these programs and services, Casa sustains long-term social justice movement-building and supports women to create the world they want to live in today.  www,casaatabexache.org
