Community coalition
By Amairani HernandezAs featured on
The Community Coalition for Substance Abuse and Prevention, more commonly known as CoCo, was created by a group of African American and Latino activists in 1990. They wanted to build a collective for people to not feel alone, especially in light of the crack-cocaine epidemic, which largely affected and targeted people of color.
