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.

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.
