I can still tap into the shame I felt as a child using food stamps at the grocery store, receiving welfare, and losing our home to foreclosure. I clearly remember the day that personal shame transformed into righteous anger at injustice. Witnessing my mother’s pain - and courage - planted the seeds that grew into my fierce determination to ensure that people have control over the decisions that affect their lives and my passion to uplift the dignity of the human spirit. This shame, anger, and love - and the recognition that our humanity and our liberation are bound together - are foundational to who I am in the world and why community organizing is my practice and my calling. It is a transformative experience for people to move out of their existing reality, share their stories, imagine new possibilities, and summon the anger, love, and courage needed to take action together to fight for justice and build a future in which we can all thrive. Shame keeps us quiet, but the organizer “discovers the strength in wounds”. Together we are transforming ourselves, our communities, our institutions, and our world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/1622509219127-GJ1JZZ8ZIG7MSVNFRLMK/cmborderIMG_8869.jpg About Caroline Building Sanctuary Caravan with immigrant leaders and asylum seekers, Tijuana MX 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/64249daa-6c73-48a3-bafb-4db7863d8ee5/FDFIMG_5076.jpg About Caroline GreenFaith leaders at Fire Drill Friday with Jane Fonda, Washington DC 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/8f55b897-22d9-4986-9760-6636533f5929/yes5+foleys.jpg About Caroline Yes on 5 campaign servers fighting for One Fair Wage, Boston, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/d5676eff-5a39-4c31-ba88-76a44e794543/IMG_3317.JPG About Caroline Sanctuary City public meeting, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/1622404154167-GOLQILBG4I1BP40E2FVA/IMG_3647.JPG About Caroline Organizer Training Day 1 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/03f61336-98a0-4e04-a084-dc6f83d8a6c0/IMG_3520.jpg About Caroline League of Women Voters Summit 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/080f6b44-1d29-40fa-9549-73e0403a616f/IMG_2180.JPG About Caroline U.S. Senator Markey with Perez family living in Sanctuary for 2 years. 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/b40e46ef-ddc2-43a2-a7be-81575565abcc/Arribaaltar.jpg About Caroline Arriba Las Vegas Worker Center Staff Retreat Altar, 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/f56eaa1b-b8a3-4e59-b41f-8f5301e67ddd/6335164802_a2d185ab1c_o.jpg About Caroline Grassroots leaders with Campaign for Community Values engaging with Presidential candidates, Iowa, 2008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/41365a4c-e7c2-4f5e-be7a-c0db1432ee68/IMG_0120.JPG About Caroline Prince and Rebuild the Dream on "The View", 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/c7209512-d581-4a69-b86b-7f993e17f95d/GG+holiday.jpg About Caroline Ethical Management community building holiday party with residents, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/f2927e91-5294-4284-ae3c-794198b28821/C4NY+pride.JPG About Caroline Cynthia for NY Pride Contingent, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/4af71f7f-b520-4b01-9275-3ace7f951e18/changeIMG_1473.jpg About Caroline 400,000 people at Peoples Climate March 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/32a05454-743b-47be-becf-54e57c8fd7b1/ussaarestIMG_3601.JPG About Caroline Student leaders with USSA engaging in NVDA fighting to save financial aid, 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/5fc0cfbf-4dfe-40df-a0c8-6581da142bcb/IMG_3071.jpg About Caroline Deep canvass training in NYC, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/4d083b82-8c10-492e-b63e-95a147f0430f/GFpitchLeo.jpg About Caroline GreenFaith strategic narrative small group discussion, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/4d7bf644-2911-412b-b53a-14ae367b207f/votemobIMG_1085.JPG About Caroline Training national student organizers with Vote Mob, 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/5ef4564c-f3d1-4b22-b4d7-fed33e9cd310/SierraRetreat.jpg About Caroline Sierra Club Resilient Communities Retreat, New Orleans, 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/6dc4d0e9-805a-40c1-b893-a2c7e9dceb7e/peoples+summit.JPG About Caroline Spokesperson Prep at Peoples Summit, Chicago, 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/01bc0895-aae2-4fe5-a10e-5ac7cce6b881/ccc314950_2018475496784_2139604016_n.jpeg About Caroline Receiving the Center for Community Change Champion Award, 2010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603e8ef9ab5053283c730d2e/58ea8fe3-3352-4ce3-972d-cfd515b00bb6/adpdeval298141_2019587244577_89389545_n.jpeg About Caroline Alliance to Develop Power leaders negotiating with Gov.
