Together we have CLOUT

When a group of strong-willed and compassionate women join forces to work for social justice in their North End community in Winnipeg, good things get done because together, they have clout.

In 2010, the CCPA-MB produced a video called “Together We Have CLOUT”, which looks at a coalition of 9 community based organizations that provide services for inner-city individuals and families. Due to popular demand, it’s now available online!
