Long Island Together

Who we are

Long Island Together, founded in November 2016, is community of activists who seek to re-shape systems to make them equitable, diverse, just and humane. We are a community organization of volunteers who are independent of political organizations, and interested in making tangible change within our community.

​

Long Island Together is based in Port Washington, NY, and most of our work is focused on communities around here.

 

Our fiscal sponsor is Long Island Jobs With Justice, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, that brings together labor unions, community organizations, congregations and faith-based organizations, and students committed to protecting the rights of working people and supporting community struggles to build a more just society locally and globally.

 

 

Projects we work on

Through inter-sectional activism we work on a range of issues - education, immigration, environment, racism, social justice and more.
 

Our organizing has focused on Immigrant Rights, Educational Advocacy, Youth Enrichment and Political Change. We have successfully run a program called Summer Together that benefits a large number of local families through pool and camp scholarships. We also work with the school district to improve diversity and equity for under-served communities. Another program Project Puentes is targeted at training bi-lingual locals as interpreters to further language access for all.
