We build power by developing institution-based leadership, building relationships within and between institutions, identifying and researching issues of mutual self-interest, and taking disciplined, organized action.

This organizing strategy enables One LA - IAF to develop a constituency of leaders who become citizens in the fullest sense: participants in democratic decision-making and agents of creation of a more just society through the exercise of relational power.

One LA - IAF is affiliated with the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), the oldest and largest national organizing and leadership development network in the United States.
