A Statement from City Alive
As communities across America rise up against the senseless murder of yet another Black person, against marginalization and repression because of skin color, against inhumane police brutality, each of us has a duty. So does City Alive.
Together we must more vigorously engage in the complicated work of dismantling racism within ourselves, our organizations, and our society.
City Alive stands in solidarity with the Black community. We stand up against racial injustice and violence. We stand for the right of every community member to live a healthy and prosperous life, to feel safe, and to have access to ample opportunities—in Albuquerque, in New Mexico, and across our nation.
There is no economic justice without racial justice.

Connecting the Dots...
In 2014, City Alive was created to bring organizations together to close the gap in business ownership and leadership in Albuquerque with a focus on people of color. Those who have joined City Alive believe that equity belongs at the center—of conversations, programs, and policy change. And collectively we work toward that end, year over year committing to action, listening, and transformation.
