Costa Mesa Unidos

Uniting Costa Mesa’s working-class communities to build power and advocate for lasting change.​

Costa Mesa Unidos (CMU) is a group of neighbors that advocate for tenant and immigrant rights in Costa Mesa. 

CMU was created in 2022 as a community space for families and residents in Costa Mesa to connect with their neighbors and learn how to advocate for their rights as tenants. As a group we have been able to have many neighborhood and policy victories.
