Introducing The Frontline Impact Digest
Welcome to the inaugural issue of Liberty Hill’s Frontline Impact Digest. This quarterly e-publication will provide you with insight into our work in Los Angeles and bring you behind the scenes of the fights for Youth and Transformative Justice, LGBTQ and Gender Justice, Environmental and Climate Justice, and Economic and Housing Justice here in Los Angeles.
Each quarter we’ll be sharing insights, news updates, and information we hope you will find useful in your work.
We will not rest until society provides justice and equality for all.
