A Driving Force of PROGRESS In Los Angeles For More Than 80 Years
When the LABC decides to take on a policy issue, we don’t just tackle it head-on – we surround it. We take a rigorous, holistic approach to improving public policy that is grounded in evidence-based research and driven by a tremendous sense of urgency. Our experience has taught us that we can achieve great success when we help diverse stakeholders find common ground, build coalitions, encourage innovative policy solutions and create a path forward for meaningful and tangible progress.
