ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY TRANSIT

ACT-LA is a broad-based coalition made up of organizations with expertise engaging in transit justice, housing justice, environmental justice, and public health... ACT-LA was founded in 2011 after a series of community assemblies were organized to address displacement of low-income families from Los Angeles's transit-rich neighborhoods. ACT-LA formed out of these assemblies so that the region would have a coalition of grassroots and "grasstops" organizations working together to organize city and county-wide campaigns around transit justice, housing justice, public health, and quality jobs... ACT-LA is a coalition of 45 member organizations throughout Los Angeles county. Together, we participate in advocacy, organizing, and policy-making-and collaborate on regional campaigns to improve the Southland.
