CCEJ’s Coalitions & Network Partners

  • Invest In Youth - Steering Committee Member

    CCEJ is a Steering Committee Member of the Long Beach Invest in Youth Coalition. The Coalition is powered by youth, community leaders, voters, and organizations that empower young people. By working together we build a multiracial democracy and institutionalize shared-governance so that the power to shape public budgets is shared with those who are historically and systemically excluded from resources and decision-making.

  • LA vs. Hate - Network Partner

    LA vs Hate is a community-centered system designed to support all residents and communities targeted for hate acts of all kinds in Los Angeles County. Led by the LA County Commission on Human Relations, LA vs Hate partners with community partners to prevent and respond to hate.

    By tracking and reporting hate we can ensure that resources are allocated appropriately, that those targeted by hate receive the support they need, and that together, we can build respectful and resilient communities.

  • Los Angeles Youth Uprising - Coalition Member

    Los Angeles Youth Uprising (LAYUP), a coalition of 17 organizations, was formed in early 2016, as the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, Children’s Defense Fund-California, Urban Peace Institute and Youth Justice Coalition began working in partnership to move LA County away from a system that punishes and incarcerates young people to a model that is committed to healing, restorative/transformative justice and youth development. Since then, LAYUP has led campaigns to dismantle LA County’s juvenile system and shift resources to youth development.

  • Stop the Hate - Network Partner

    AAPI Equity Alliance is the Los Angeles County Regional Lead for the State of California’s Stop the Hate grant. Administered through the California Department of Social Services, this grant funds 80 organizations throughout California to provide direct services, prevention services and intervention services for victims of hate.

    In Los Angeles County, 24 organizations were awarded a total of $4 million to develop and provide services and programs to combat hate. Although many of these organizations were founded to serve the Asian American community, their focus has also extended to other ethnic and racial groups in their local area.
