The Community Alliance is a monthly newspaper that has been published in Fresno, California, since 1996. The purpose of the newspaper is to help build a progressive movement for social and economic justice. This is done by supporting:
- Immigrant rights
- Workers being paid a living wage
- Environmental justice
- Police accountability
- Universal healthcare for all
- LGBTQ+ rights
- Fully funded public schools
We oppose the right-wing agenda of deregulation, privatization, voter suppression and defunding social service programs.
