Report Forward

Report Forward is a project of the LA Forward Institute! We’re doing this because movement groups generate brilliant ideas and research, but frequently their work doesn’t get the attention it deserves. LA Forward Institute is dedicated to changing that with a new publication. The first feature is Report Forward — a monthly newsletter researched and written by journalist Alissa Walker. 

Each issue will spotlight one or two policy proposals from LA County movement groups, plus progress updates on the real-world impact of past reports, other local policy happenings, national policy reports, and in-person opportunities to share knowledge, and celebrate big wins.

We hope you find this useful and interesting. Happy reading and learning!
