All My Uso's
A.M.U
Empowering Families With Compassionate Support and Vital Services
Mission
All My Uso’s mission is to provide resources and support to under-resourced and marginalized communities, with a specific focus to serve Pacific Islander families in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. We do this through programming that strengthens relationships, while cultivating community leadership, and creating lasting change for families.
Vision
We envision vibrant, thriving communities where every individual has access to the resources, support, and opportunities needed to heal, grow, and rise. A future where families stand as pillars of love and strength, where culture is celebrated, and where no one is left to navigate hardship and grief alone. We see a world where communities are deeply interconnected, bound by shared responsibility and unwavering love. We envision “All My Usos” as something the next generation lives, not just says.
Beyond an Organization: A Call to Unity
At the heart of Samoan culture, the word “Uso” (pronounced oo-so) carries great power—it represents a powerful bond of brotherhood and the undeniable strength of sisterhood. It is a sacred connection of brother to brother and sister to sister, built on loyalty, respect, and unbreakable unity.
“All My Usos” is a call to action. A call for us to stand with one another and a reminder that we do not walk this path alone. We are connected by alofa (love), fa’aaloalo (respect), and tautua (service to others)—the foundations of Samoan culture. Whether in the villages of Samoa or across the Bay Area- we must find strength: in one another.
We invite all who believe in the power of community and kinship to walk with us, build with us, serve with us. Together, we are stronger.
