Our Mission: Liberty Hill is a laboratory for social justice and social change. We leverage the power of community organizers, donor activists, and allies to advance social justice through strategic investment in grants, leadership training, and campaigns.
Our Vision: Liberty Hill envisions a society in which all people have a powerful voice, including those currently shut out of our democracy, people cut off from opportunities because they are poor, because of their skin color, because of their gender or sexual orientation, because of where they live, or where they were born.
Liberty Hill’s Impact
Grantee Victories
Together, we are making L.A. a national leader in community safety, climate innovation, and housing solutions. Liberty Hill’s Agenda for a Just Future seeks to transform our region from the ground up, and in partnership with our grantee partners, we’re tackling our most intractable problems by unleashing the power of people, community, and innovation.
The Road to Environmental & Climate Justice
"Our next step is ensuring the City and County follow through on their commitment. Passing laws is one thing, but implementation is also a battle. We’re advocating for the City to enact a strong policy requiring full clean-up of these sites, once they are shut down, to ensure that communities harmed for decades by oil drilling have an important voice in ensuring that whatever land use comes next benefits them.” –Maro Kakoussian, Director of Climate & Health Programs, Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles
The Road to Youth & Transformative Justice
“LA County is facing numerous intersecting crises that could be addressed if the County keeps its commitment to fully investing in care-first programs and organizations, rather than in law enforcement bloat. Investments in punitive and ineffective law enforcement departments cannot resolve this crisis—LA County must invest in care.” –Megan Castillo, (She/her), Coalition Coordinator, Re-Imagine LA Coalition, and Manager for Policy and Advocacy at La Defensa
The Road to Economic & Housing Justice
"The well-being of tenants and small property owners is not mutually exclusive. One of our main goals over the next two years is making sure the City of LA establishes a well-funded social housing program that will produce high-quality, affordable housing at scale." –Agueda Dudley-Berrios, Keep LA Housed coalition
