520 _aCommunity benefits agreements are a relatively new tool in the economic justice movement. This article discusses community-labor partnerships in efforts to win community benefits agreements in African American communities, with implications for other communities of color. Union and African American organizing strategies are explored and two community benefits campaigns are examined: the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice and the One Hill Community Benefits Coalition. Clashes emerging around divergent world views are reviewed along with strategies to address potential challenges in order to build and maintain successful cross cultural coalitions.
