Background and Mission Statement

In the summer of 2024, local organizers launched efforts to build a sustainable coalition aimed at advancing progressive values within the community. During their inaugural meeting, members articulated core principles and initiated one-on-one conversations with local leaders to gather insights and guidance. Over the following months, member organizations participated in roundtable discussions to collaboratively shape a unified vision for the Westside of LA.

Westside Vision is a dedicated alliance of community organizations working to create a district grounded in justice, equity, and collective liberation. Through bold advocacy and people-centered policies, we address systemic inequities and empower all residents to live with dignity and hope.

Our mission is to dismantle entrenched structures of poverty and systemic racism. By addressing root causes and championing community-led solutions, we prioritize meeting basic needs and fostering healing and opportunity. Together, we envision a future where every individual has the resources and opportunities to thrive.
