Mission Statement
Our mission is to build a powerful and an influential movement of youth and families on the Eastside of Los Angeles to promote healthy, safe and nonviolent communities. The Eastside is comprised of the communities of Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights.
Description
Our democracy is at a crossroads. The stakes have never been higher. Local and statewide elections matter more than ever for Eastside residents. Unfortunately, low voter turnout is a significant factor threatening our communities’ ability to advance opportunities and resources. InnerCity Struggle’s Civic Engagement program trains all residents from youth to elders to educate, empower and mobilize Eastside voters. As a participant, you’ll build an empowered electorate that can positively influence election outcomes that best represents the Eastside.
InnerCity Struggle is proud to be an anchor organization with California Calls. You’ll join a statewide network of California leaders focused on addressing real solutions to our public schools, public safety, health system and social safety net.
We seek volunteers to engage Eastside residents to register to vote, increase voter turnout and educate them about the key issues at the ballot box. When we encourage our neighbors to engage in our democracy, we build civic power.
