Remaking the Economy: NPQ comes to Los Angeles!
REMAKING THE ECONOMY IN LOS ANGELES: The Rise of Social Movements
Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 2:00 pm EST
“We live in tremendously challenging times,” and it will take “creative social movement organizing that actually has a community base” to address these challenges, notes Professor Manual Pastor, the inaugural holder of the Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change at the University of Southern California and author of States of Resistance, in an interview that will lead off NPQ’s latest economic justice webinar, titled REMAKING THE ECONOMY IN LOS ANGELES ([link removed] ) .
Los Angeles is known, of course, for being home to Hollywood, but it is so much more than that. The City of Angels—home to four million people, and the center of a metro area of 13 million—has seen remarkable changes, both demographically and in its economy. In 1980, less than 15 percent of Los Angeles County residents were Latinx; today, nearly half are. Economically, Los Angeles was once famously an “open shop,” largely non-union city; today, the nation’s leading port and manufacturing city is an exemplar of community-based social, racial, and economic justice organizing.
In this webinar, we will hear from some of the people who are behind this transformation. Following the interview with Pastor, who—in addition to his academic work, has been a social movement activist himself—NPQ Senior Editor Steve Dubb will facilitate a panel with three expert speakers: Roxana Tynan, Executive Director of Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE); Isela Gracian, Executive Director of East Los Angeles Community Corporation (ELACC); and Ana Siria Urzua, Sustainability Director of Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities.

This webinar will explore:
- How community benefit agreements (CBAs), developed in Los Angeles, have helped ensure that new infrastructure benefits local residents.
- How sector-based bargaining is being used to elevate wage and benefit levels.
- The role played by social movements in the region–and the vital importance of an intersectional, organizing mindset.
- Gentrification—and how community land trusts are being used to combat it.
- Worker co-op organizing efforts in East Los Angeles and Santa Ana that build on Latinx collectivist values.
- The struggle to promote an economy shaped by values of democracy and solidarity in the face of a tech-boomed fueled by a very different mindset.
- How policy and advocacy can be employed to even the economic scales.
Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, board member, or engaged in community-based organizing, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community.
