Comunidades Unidas

Comunidades Unidas / Communities United (CU) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 1999. For the past 24 years CU has been at the forefront of the immigrant rights movement in Utah to ensure Latinxs and immigrants have equal opportunities to achieve their full potential. 

Comunidades Unidas engages with thousands of individuals every year while maintaining our grassroots connection with our community.

It is our love, inclusiveness, and respect for the Latinx, immigrant, and undocumented community that leads us to fight for social justice, inclusion, and to advocate for every member of the community equitably. Together and guided by these values, we can tackle the injustices that face our community from the roots in order to ensure liberation for all. Our values inform our holistic approach to promoting community engagement and wellbeing.
