Description: Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN) was formed in 1999 when 25 residents of Downtown LA came together, acknowledged the problems that existed in their community, and made a commitment to do something about those problems: to stand together, organize and become a force in the community that demands change. LA CAN’s mission is to “help people dealing with poverty create and discover opportunities, while serving as a vehicle to ensure we have voice, power and opinion in the decisions that are directly affecting us.” In its early years, LA CAN focused mostly on issues related to civil rights and preventing the criminalization of poverty. Other core projects have been added over the years, such as women’s rights (2001), the human right to housing (2002), and healthy food access (2004), and the organization also has projects that focus on economic development, civic participation and voter engagement, and community media. In 2007, LA CAN expanded its housing and healthy food access work into South Central Los Angeles.

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.
