For 30 years, Community Coalition (CoCo) has worked with everyday residents to impact the material conditions of Black and Brown people living in South Los Angeles. From the corner of 81st and Vermont, CoCo has built a leadership pipeline in our community, including founder Congressmember Karen Bass, Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Alberto Retana, that has continuously “stepped up” to reduce crime, poverty, and substance abuse through resident organizing, direct advocacy, and community support services in South LA.

CoCo cultivates youth and adult leaders who organize community members to build safer neighborhoods, quality schools, and a robust social safety net in areas of Los Angeles that have suffered from generations of disinvestment. The activism of CoCo members and community residents has been a steadfast catalyst stimulating economic recovery in South LA for decades. Your contribution will help build the next generation of racial justice activists and assist us in winning economic, justice, and social campaign victories that will transform our communities and change the lives of thousands of South L.A. youth and families.

Thank you for stepping up to support our mission.
