Description: Community Coalition is a community-driven organization founded in 1989 by a group of activists in Los Angeles, convened by Congressmember Karen Bass, and committed to involving South L.A. residents in creating solutions to the crack-cocaine epidemic haunting their community at that time. Community Coalition works to help transform the social and economic conditions in South L.A. that foster addiction, crime, violence and poverty by building a community institution that involves thousands in creating, influencing, and changing public policy. The organization remains committed to elevating the voices of its members, shifting power to the community, and tackling the root causes of poverty, crime, and violence in South L.A.

Description: Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE) describes itself as a non-profit organization in South Los Angeles that envisions a society where economic benefits and opportunities are equitably distributed and where workers and tenants have rights and decision-making power. This requires a change in public and corporate policies so that they provide a concrete economic benefit for families. Since its founding in 1996, SAJE has worked to create models of a replicable and sustainable economic democracy, and to build economic power for working-class families in Los Angeles. The majority of its members are people of color and approximately 92 percent are Latin@. While focused on the neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, SAJE works in multiple coalitions to move broader policies that affect not only the neighborhoods within South Los Angeles, but have an impact at city and county levels.
