Alliance for Community Transit

The Alliance for Community Transit-Los Angeles (ACT-LA) is a broad-based coalition comprised of organizations engaged in grassroots organizing, community economic development, affordable housing development, public health, environmental justice, policy making, and legal advocacy.

ACT-LA envisions a Los Angeles that is a transit-rich city where all people have access to quality jobs, affordable housing, necessary social services, ample transportation options, and a voice in decision-making. It is committed to building a sustainable community through the reduction of toxic air pollution, the promotion of public health, and the strengthening of community culture and heritage.

The organization unites community organizers and resident leaders from across the city to win campaigns for quality jobs, affordable housing and transit equity. It provides organizing support  and coordination to grassroots organizations though a committee made up of staff and resident leaders from various organizations.
