On July 2, 1964 – 60 years ago – President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, a pivotal moment in the Movement and our nation's history. As we reflect on this momentous milestone, we must continue to demand equality, equity, and justice. As we honor the courage and residence of those who fought for us, we must recommit to fighting for a future where every voice is heard, every life is valued, and every individual's rights are respected. #CivilRightsAct60 #AndJusticeForAll
About us
Our Mission: To help transform the social and economic conditions in South LA that foster addiction, crime, violence and poverty by building a community institution that involves thousands in creating, influencing and changing public policy. Who We Are: Community leaders, including U.S. Congresswoman Karen Bass, founded Community Coalition as a non-profit organization in 1990 in response to the 1980's crack cocaine epidemic that devastated South LA. The goal was to provide preventative community-centered solutions to the drug problem. Community Coalition works with African American and Latino residents to build a prosperous and healthy South LA with safe neighborhoods, quality schools, a strong social safety net and positive economic development in order to reduce crime, poverty and substance abuse in our community.

Community Coalition reposted this
The school-to-prison pipeline denies many children a fair chance at success. Aloe Blacc recognizes the power of his platform and uses it to address systemic issues like the school-to-prison pipeline. Collaborating with @Pharrell Williams, he created "Love is the Answer," a song with a foundation of compassion. The music video, developed with the Community Coalition, highlights how policies like willful defiance fail to serve communities. Blacc's work underscores the urgent need to reform these policies to ensure all children have the opportunity to thrive. 🎧 Tune in to this episode of The Last Mile Radio at www.thelastmileradio.org to watch the full interview. #SchoolToPrisonPipeline #CriminalJusticeReform #EndMassIncarceration #SystemicChange

Happy Juneteenth! ✨🎉 Community Coalition and @SCOPELA were so excited to share space with our community and members as we celebrated Juneteenth last week with a screening of Descendants and a reparations panel and discussion hosted by the @CaliforniaBlackPowerNetwork. On Saturday, we brought members back together for good food and good vibes to create some great memories. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, marking a pivotal moment in our history. We honor our journey towards justice and equality for all today and every day. Together, we strive for a future where every voice is heard and every person is valued. 🌍❤️ #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EqualityForAll
