A personal appeal from Earl Ofari Hutchinson
President Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable
Be A Los Angeles Urban Policy Change Sponsor!
The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable is a fighting organization, a relentless voice for the voiceless in our community and beyond ---with soaring incarceration, unemployment, Haiti, racial polarization, the Republican resurgence, and the avalanche of local problems facing us we'll fight even harder in 2010.
Our most immediate need is to raise $2,000 to publish and distribute
The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable Community Help Guide
The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable receives urgent distress and help phone calls each day from Los Angeles community residents seeking help or information on how to resolve a crisis problem. The problems that residents seek our help on include housing and rental assistance, evictions, medical needs, senior services, employment, housing discrimination, murder violence, crime victim’s assistance, police misconduct, and prisoner justice issues. The problems that many residents face in these especially challenging times are great and their needs are just as great. The most important challenge for them is to know where to turn for help when confronted with a problem.
The guide will be offered at no cost to residents and agencies. It will provide community residents with the names, phone numbers as well as key contacts, agencies, and service providers to address their major needs.
