Alliance for a Better Community
ABOUT US
In the mid-nineties, a group of Latino/a civic leaders began to meet to discuss and address issues the Los Angeles Latino/a community faced. The group came to be known as the “Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club.” The group organized to confront various regional challenges through personal and organizational networks and resources. While they successfully redressed many policy challenges facing Latino/a communities in Los Angeles, they ultimately decided that L.A. needed an organization to serve as a consistent voice for the community. The club established Alliance for a Better Community (ABC) to support the Latino/a agenda within City Hall, Los Angeles County, L.A. Unified, the media, and other public or influential entities. Today, ABC is the only policy advocacy organization working to increase opportunities for all Latinos/as in the Los Angeles region. We challenge and transform systems by offering data-driven, community-centered solutions to address education, civic engagement, economic prosperity and health issues.
