Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition represents a unique grassroots movement serving the Bloomfield, New Jersey community and extending nationwide to defend Italian American heritage and civil rights. Founded on the principle of acting as one united voice against defamation and discrimination, the organization brings together a coalition of member organizations and individual defenders committed to protecting Italian American culture and representation. What sets the Coalition apart from other Italian American organizations is its singular focus on combating bias in mass media and stereotyping—a mission pursued through education, activism, and the application of intellect, wisdom, and due process of law to address inequities. The organization has created the first-ever nationwide rapid response network of freedom writers and defenders who mobilize quickly when instances of bias, discrimination, or negative stereotyping emerge. By recruiting proud members ready to engage through phone calls, emails, letters, and social media, the Coalition empowers individuals to take direct action in defending their heritage. The organization's commitment extends to challenging authoritarian policies affecting Italian American civil rights and monuments while celebrating Columbus Day as a proud symbol of immigrant inclusion in American society. Through its respected Alfano Digest newsletter and member organization partnerships, the Coalition maintains ongoing dialogue about Italian American issues and cultural pride. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition provides structured pathways for community engagement, offering membership opportunities and volunteer defender positions for those genuinely committed to safeguarding Italian American heritage and ensuring equal representation across America.
