The leaders and organizers of the Industrial Areas Foundation build organizations whose primary purpose is power - the ability to act - and whose chief produce is equitable social change.  The IAF is non-ideological and strictly non-partisan, but proudly, publicly and persistently political.  Through local affiliates, the IAF builds a political base among voluntary institutions that include religious congregations, labor local, education locals, civic organizations and others. Our leaders use that base to compete at times, to confront at times and to cooperate at times with decision-makers in the government and market sectors.
