ABOUT CADRE:
Founded in 2001, Community Asset Development Redefining Education (CADRE) is an independent, community-based, community organizing and social justice-driven, parent membership organization in South Los Angeles. In partnership with staff and key stakeholders, CADRE is led by Black and Latino parents and caregivers whose children attend local schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
CADRE’s history started in the wake of the 1992 uprising, when a determined South Central LA mother and parent leader joined forces with a dedicated community activist to embark on building a movement of powerful Black and Latino parents organized to advance racial and educational justice in local LAUSD schools. Twenty years later, CADRE has emerged as an independent, parent-driven, community-based educational and social justice organization leading the charge to dismantle systemic criminalization and anti-Blackness in South Los Angeles schools and beyond.
CADRE’s core call to action is simple yet revolutionary: place Black and Brown parents at the center of systemic change to decriminalize public education. CADRE envisions schools that respect and cultivate the humanity, self-determination, leadership, and power of Black and Latino families to ensure that all children are rightfully educated regardless of where they live. CADRE builds critical solidarity between Black and Brown parent leaders who are uniquely positioned to:
CADRE engages in deeply principled and transformative practices of community organizing in order to foster authentic parent empowerment, leadership development, organizing, direct-action, power-building, and coalition building.

Our vision is that schools will respect and cultivate the humanity, collective spirit and resilience of Black and Latino families, and contribute to a shared vision of South LA as a unified community that has power and self-determination.
