Our Purpose

Brockton Interfaith Community (BIC), founded in 1990, is a multi-faith, multi-ethnic non-profit organization from the greater Brockton area. BIC’s mission is to work collaboratively with our partners, on issues chosen together to promote racial and economic justice through prophetic, faith-rooted community organizing.  BIC advocates at the state level as MCAN and at the national level as Faith in Action. By building power locally through intentional relationships, BIC leaders and staff aspire to create systems and structures for the purpose of establishing a more equitable and just world.  Youth SOL, founded in 2021, is the youth organizing program of Brockton Interfaith Community. Dedicated to young people’s liberation, Youth SOL seeks to empower youth to believe in and use their collective voices to be powerful agents of the changes they want to see in their own communities. With emphasis on creating just systems and policies for young people and all people; cultivating community control, youth leadership and ownership; and dismantling oppression in all of its forms, especially as it pertains to young people, Youth SOL’s mission is for young people to experience being agents of change while they still believe they can be, so that they never begin to believe they can’t be.
