L.A. Works Take Action Initiative empowers volunteers to tackle major issues facing L.A.: Homelessness, Climate Change, and Equity in Education. At monthly bootcamps, volunteers first hear from our nonprofit collaborators who provide background and framing of the issues; get trained by an L.A. Works project leader in grassroots advocacy tactics; then conduct a hands-on action like making phone bank calls, presenting a two-minute support or opposition speech, or going live with a social media campaign.
