We organize to build a safer, healthier and thriving Eastside for all.

Vision

The Eastside of Los Angeles is a thriving, multigenerational, and civically engaged community that ensures racial justice, a quality education, an equitable economy, and a healthy built environment for residents most impacted by systemic injustices. The Eastside is comprised of the communities of Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, El Sereno, and Lincoln Heights

Core Purpose

InnerCity Struggle is a transformational and intergenerational movement that builds community power to advance justice, life opportunities, and dignity in the Eastside of Los Angeles.

 

OUR APPROACH

PEOPLE POWER

We believe Eastside residents should be at the forefront of change. You’ll work alongside your classmates, fellow parents, and neighbors to build a progressive, social movement.

TRAINING

You’re already the expert of your experience living in the Eastside. We provide you with the tools and skills to identify solutions and win them.

DIRECT ACTION CAMPAIGNS

The time to act is now. We take on campaigns to change public policy and reallocate resources to improve the quality of life for you and your family.

UNITED WE STAND

We believe it takes more than one organization to transform our communities. We’re proud to work alongside organizations and participate in alliance and coalition building to contribute to the formation of our generation’s social justice movement. Learn more about our partners.
