Community Coalition: Celebrating 20 Years of Change in South LA

The Community Coalition works to ameliorate the South LA social and economic conditions that create people who are prone to addiction, violence, crime and poverty. They strive to create a community that incorporates thousands that change and influence public policy.

Community Coalition’s Stance

• Community: In order to instill core values among South Los Angeles, Community Coalition pushes to actively involve the primarily Latino and African America community to serve as a means of community activism.
• Leadership: Instead of striving to get celebrity sponsors, Community Coalition works to create leaders out of the community. This means that these people will be able to relate on a personal level and people will work together to overcome addiction and violence.
• Education: By using education to develop community knowledge, Community Coalition believes that anyone can have the right tools to push away from falling into the poverty cycle that often leads to addiction.

These three aspects along with advocacy have made Community Coalition build a social movement to push through poverty and the conditions people experience when they fall into the cycle of poverty.
