Dear LA Civil Rights Family,
At the LA Civil Rights Department, we honor the legacy, life, and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by striving to make his dream a reality. Through our Office of Race & Equity, we strengthen community partnerships and manage equity-based programming to reduce poverty in Los Angeles' most marginalized communities; our Civil Rights Enforcement Unit addresses discriminatory acts and provides justice for victims; and our commissions and community engagement efforts, including the award-winning anti-hate campaign, LA For All, highlight the importance of culture and diversity, regardless of age, disability, gender, race, or religion. By working together, we still have the opportunity to overcome hate and create communities where everyone thrives and achieves their full potential.
Today, join us in celebrating not only Dr. King's birthday, but also his principles of nonviolence and inclusion for all!
Keep the faith and keep the fight,
- Capri Maddox
Executive Director
LA Civil Rights Department
