About [Edit]
The Labor/Community Strategy Center is a multiracial "think tank/act tank" committed to building democratic, internationalist, Left social movements and challenging the ideological, economic, and political domination of transnational capital.
The Strategy Center`s work encompasses all aspects of urban life in the United States: it emphasizes class-conscious labor organizing and fighting for environmental justice and ending climate change, immigrant rights, and first-class transportation, as well as actively confronting the growing criminalization, racialization, and feminization of poverty.
The Strategy Center synthesizes grassroots organizing-The Bus Riders Union and Community Rights projects-with education, policy development, and artistic culture production-Strategy Center Publications, The National Center for Transportation Strategies, the National School for Strategic Organizing, Voices from the Frontlines radio show, and AhoraNow periodical-to generate a creative and aggressive response to the growing power of the corporate-led political Right in the United States.
The Strategy Center is committed to multilingual organizing, including the development of multilingual publications, productions, and visuals arts.
Overview of Projects
Movement Building, Public Policy, and Publications for Clean Air, Mass Transit, Civil Rights, & Environmental Justice
Founded in 1989, the Strategy Center is a multiracial "think-tank/act-tank" based in Los Angeles County working to impact national and international public policy and mass movements from a regional base of 10 million people. The Center builds multiracial social movements and broad coalitions, trains young community organizers, and develops publications at the intersection of ecology, civil rights, mass transit, workers` and immigrants` rights. We organize front line, big picture grassroots campaigns that train thousands of members in three languages, English, Spanish, and Korean, to directly challenge the ideology and power of transnational corporations and government elites. Our work addresses the totality of urban life, with a primary focus on the needs and interests of low-income people, women, immigrants, youth, people with disabilities, and people of color, and from that base reaches out to all classes in society.
