Who We Are
Taos United/Taosenos Unidos is a grassroots, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of friends, neighbors and activists working for a fair and just democracy, human rights, environmental stewardship and the welfare of our community.

Vision
Our vision is of a diverse and inclusive society dedicated to the common good.
We see a country where:

  • We have confidence that the institutions of government support the people and function to
    preserve democracy;
  • All people have equality of opportunity and treatment within our society and government
    institutions;
  • We have a healthy environment that supports thriving ecosystems;
  • We provide a living wage for all;
  • We have a health care system that ensures that all people have access to preventive and
    responsive care;
  • Our education system provides equal and universal early childhood, primary, and secondary
    education, as well as the opportunity for debt-free technical training and/or professional
    studies;
  • We have common-sense gun laws (including background checks, assault rifle bans, and
    raising the minimum age for gun ownership) to ensure the safety of all;
  • Clean, renewable energy systems are in place to support our energy and transportation needs;
  • We provide a safe place for guest workers, and a path to citizenship for immigrants and
    migrants;
  • We have livable and sustainable communities that support community spaces, local
    agriculture, and the arts; and 
  • Our laws and institutions support the fundamental rights as set forth in the United Nations
    Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
