Mission

Neighbors United for a Better East Boston (NUBE) is an organization that develops abundant leaders who support social transformation and shifting political power. Our leaders organize and advocate for inclusive democratic processes and just public policies to create a vibrant economy and environment for all East Boston.

Belief

NUBE believes that abundant leaders, who live our values and intentionally engage in social, economic, and political life, will help create alternative systems and structures that promote social transformation. Through trainings, actions, and building an abundant community, NUBE has faith that we are the change we want to see in the world.

Vision

We envision a community where neighbors co-exist, support, and encourage each other to create a more just, sustainable, and abundant community that allows our families to prosper and attain the highest possible quality of life.

Values

Our work is guided by a deep commitment to developing a more just, understanding, and sustainable neighborhood. We manifest this through learning, teaching, and practicing the following core values:

Welcome

We welcome our neighbors to create social change grounded in love, a force to take action against social injustices. We encourage our neighbors to act as an inspiration to build an abundant community.

Justice

We lead with our hearts to ensure that the public institutions serving East Boston honor all our neighbors, especially those most marginalized. We encourage and support our leaders to be in service of advancing social justice movements.

Abundance

We model a unified community where we share our gifts and embrace our struggles so that these are never endured alone. Our culturally diverse space promotes a healthy community for present and future generations.

Our Team

NUBE has faith that we are the change we want to see in the world and our work for the next decade is to create an organizational structure that models that world. What we have named an abundant community is moving from a mindset of scarcity toward there being enough for all and future generations. This is not an easy shift nor do we have many models to practice. That is why NUBE is lucky to have neighbors who are willing to be pioneers and walk this path together. Meet our leadership:
