California Office
Advancement Project’s California office is a public policy change organization rooted in the civil rights movement. We engineer large-scale systems change to remedy inequality, expand opportunity and open paths to upward mobility. Our goal is that members of all communities have the safety, opportunity and health they need to thrive.
Our signature is reach and impact. With our strong ties to diverse communities, unlikely alliances, policy and legal expertise, and creative use of technology, we and our partners have won over $15 billion to extend opportunity. Whether it is to build 150 schools, transform the City of Los Angeles’ approach to its gang epidemic, or revolutionize the use of data in policymaking, Advancement Project evens the odds for communities striving to attain equal footing and equal treatment.
- Educational Equity: Ensures school facilities for all and expands educational opportunities for low-income children from birth through high school graduation.
- Equity in Public Funds: Reveals significant discrepancies between the allocation of public funds and the needs of low-income communities and communities of color.
- Healthy City: Transforms how people access and use information about their communities. Healthy City is an information + action resource that unites community voices, rigorous research and innovative technologies to solve the root causes of social inequity.
- Urban Peace: Reduces and prevents community violence, making poor neighborhoods safer so that children can learn, families can thrive and communities can prosper.
