LA Forward Institute

Join us to keep LA Forward going strong!

With 10 million people, Los Angeles would the 10th largest state in the country!


LA Forward is here to fight for you and your progressive values.


We are the people who know the name of every single city councilmember and how they vote. We are the people who can help YOU hold them accountable to their progressive rhetoric.


We have BIG plans to grow our impact over the next year -- but we can only follow through with YOUR support. 


  • Comprehensive Voters Guides in June and November that will reach 50,000 people. 
  • Detailed Report Cards on city and county elected officials — grading them on issues like the environment, economic fairness, and criminal justice reform.
  • Twelve episodes of LA Forwards & Backwards podcast, offering a unique inside perspective from the progressive leaders who are driving key local policy campaigns.
  • Four LIVE “Look Forward” events, including a podcast recording, that will make complicated policy debates into understandable and entertaining discussions.
  • Five trainings that will dive deep into issues like the housing system and the know-how to partner for racial and gender justice.
