We can build a better LA in 2021

Even in the midst of a tough year, it’s amazing how much we’ve been able to accomplish — not just as an organization, but as a movement and a region. Together we’ve been mobilizing for policy change, winning historic legislation, electing transformative local leaders, and organizing to build power for the long haul. 

I’m so proud of what our community has accomplished together in 2020: 

  • Publishing our Progressive LA Voter Guide and our LA 101 Guide to Local Government.

  • Educating and mobilizing Angelenos through civic teach-ins and neighborhood organizing that drove thousands of emails and calls to city and county offices.

  • Calling 39,101 voters to win Measure J, one of the nation’s most ambitious efforts to reinvest in communities, not incarceration.

  • Helping launch the Healthy LA Coalition and winning over 20 crucial protections during the pandemic for tenants, workers, and other vulnerable Angelenos.

  • And so much more.

Now we are asking for your support to expand our community and impact in 2021.

Help us build a better LA

I’ve never been more excited about the promise of a new year. Dozens of LA Forward community leaders are developing a new membership model to build our base and hold elected officials accountable. For the first time in 2021-22, we’ll have an inclusive process to endorse and campaign for candidates for local office. Our goal is to transform local government by supporting principled progressive candidates we can be proud of, and who can win, in all of the major local offices up for election in 2022. 

We’ll also be hosting a series of virtual house parties, organized and led by LA Forward members and partners, to get your input and keep you updated on local movements for justice. And we’ll continue growing our regional and policy teams while delivering the civic teach-ins, panels, and publications you’ve come to know and trust.

A majority of our budget comes from our members’ monthly donations. In 2024, our goal is to raise 70% of our budget from dues-paying members. That will enable us to be 100% accountable to people like you. Your gift allows us to respond rapidly to emerging issues, to take on powerful interests, and spend as little time possible on fundraising so we can focus on the crucial work that needs to get done every day.
