CARIBBEAN.ONE
| CARIBBEAN ONE was proud to partner with CARIB ID to increase Caribbean American participation in the 2010 census, as our first ever outreach initiative. We distributed outreach materials, like the piece on the left, through shops and restaurants to Caribbean Americans in New Jersey, home to large communities in The Oranges, Jersey City, Newark, Hillside, Paterson, and Trenton |
one country many voices millions strong
Welcome to CARIBBEAN ONE!
This is an exciting time for millions of Caribbean Americans. Immigrants who once focused on
'back home' are taking an interest in their local communities. Those born or raised in the United
States are crossing the old lines of nationality, race, ethnicity, and language. Powerful enclaves
are thriving in major cities. And bridges are being built within and beyond our communities.
CARIBBEAN ONE is a new organization dedicated to empowering Caribbean Americans through
community-building, civic action and cultural expression. Through our outreach initiatives,
website, magazine, cultural events, seminars, and voter guides, CARIBBEAN ONE will work with
other organizations to help shape a progressive, diverse, and dynamic Caribbean American
agenda.
This is the beginning of an incredible journey. We hope you will join us.
