Why Si Se Puede Mayfair Matters
A neighborhood with a legacy of organizing and resilience.
In the Mayfair neighborhood, families have spent generations navigating disinvestment, low wages, and rising costs of living. Yet Mayfair has always been a place of profound resilience, cultura, and community strength.
Si Se Puede Mayfair builds on that legacy.
It is a neighborhood-led organizing effort that brings residents together door by door and block by block to shape a future where every family can prosper. By centering resident leadership, Si Se Puede Mayfair is taking direct aim at poverty in our neighborhood and showing what becomes possible when communities lead their own change.
What we are building in Mayfair is also helping us imagine what's possible in neighborhoods nationwide.
Our hope is that the strategies, relationships, and lessons emerging from Si Se Puede Mayfair will become a blueprint for the Neighborhood Prosperity Project — a 10-year plan to end concentrated poverty without displacement by supporting and organizing communities across the country.
Our National Vision
The Neighborhood Prosperity Movement
Amigos de Guadalupe envisions a nation where every neighborhood is a place of opportunity, dignity, and prosperity.
To achieve this vision, we must build a nationwide movement of organized neighborhoods working together to eradicate concentrated poverty without displacement. This will be a movement inspired by the grassroots organizing legacy of the farmworker movement and grounded in the Mayfair neighborhood where that historic work began.
There are Mayfairs all across America, resilient yet overlooked communities ready for transformation. Our work in Mayfair will prove that change in one neighborhood can spark change everywhere. As Mayfair goes, so goes the nation.
Amigos aims to become the go-to resource for communities, policymakers and funders committed to neighborhood transformation. By 2035, we seek to work alongside neighborhoods across the nation to turn this vision into reality.
This national effort will be known as the Neighborhood Prosperity Movement.
Our Current Initiatives
Building a model to end concentrated poverty without displacement.
The Neighborhood Prosperity Movement is still in its early years, but the momentum is real. As we walk alongside Mayfair families, we’re building a place-based model that can be adapted for other underinvested neighborhoods.
Numbers that reflect real families & dreams.
Behind every data point is a family, a dream, and a neighborhood that refuses to give up. These early indicators show what’s possible when we invest in community-led prosperity.
