LA ASAMBLEA, AS AN ORGANIZATION OF FAITH, TAKES SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ESTABLISHING A STRUCTURE OF POWER WITH CULTURAL DISCIPLINE AND A JUST CONSCIENCE OF OUR LATINO COMMUNITY THAT CAN INFLUENCE THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR VALUES, PRINCIPLES, AND INTERESTS. WE CULTIVATE LEADERS THROUGH TRANSFORMATIONAL TRAININGS AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS, TOOLS THAT WE WILL USE TO CARRY OUT OUR PLANS, STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS DIRECTED BY OUR BASE AND WITH THE MENTORSHIP OF EXPERIENCED LEADERS THAT WILL ASSURE THAT OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS CONTINUE THIS WORK FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE. WE BELIEVE IN INTELLIGENT ALLIANCES AND WE WILL FIND LOCAL AND NATIONAL ALLIES THAT SHARE A SIMILAR VISION WHERE WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH THE PEOPLE AND NOT THE PEOPLE FOR THE ORGANIZATION.
