You’re Invited to Spring to Action,
a Garden Party Fundraiser for LA Forward
Saturday, April 25, 2026
1:00 - 4:00 PM
LA Forward is incredibly proud to be honoring Loraine Lundquist and two other honorees, all of whom are important collaborators in our work to fight for democracy locally and transform Los Angeles County into a fair, flourishing place for everyone.
Spring Into Action supports LA Forward’s work to build people power, practice democracy, and create a fair, flourishing Los Angeles for everyone. Unrestricted funding from event sponsorship makes this work possible.
Foundations don’t offer funding to do the type of political accountability work LA Forward carries out, which means your support is essential. Unrestricted funding from event sponsorship makes our work possible.
Join us for a celebratory afternoon of food, drinks, and time to connect with members of the LA Forward community and progressive leaders from across Los Angeles.
HONOREES
Loraine Lundquist
Dr. Loraine Lundquist is an educator, scientist, and mom. She has served on the board of LA forward for five years and is in her third year as board chair.
She got her early career start as an astrophysicist who helped launch a solar research satellite into orbit. Concern about growing climate disruption led her towards climate and clean energy advocacy — which led inevitably into policy and politics.
She has served as a Faculty Associate at the Institute for Sustainability at Cal State Northridge, a board consultant for LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell at the Air Quality Management District, and she was a candidate for LA City Council in 2020. She also enjoys making activism an integral part of family life with her husband and three children.
