The issues that One LA - IAF organizes around emerge out of conversations within member institutions and vary based on the communities in which the organizing takes place. Every institution that joins One LA - IAF, therefore, shapes the agenda and direction of the organization.

Just a few of the issues we've taken on:

• Renovating an out-of-date lunchroom in the most overcrowded school in the state, Miles Elementary, to enable all students to eat lunch. For more on the work at Miles and other examples of actions around education issues, click here.
