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 this with "Report Forward" — a newsletter researched and written by journalist Alissa Walker.

Each issue spotlights 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.

Future issues will be published at thinkforward.la
