Radical Change L.A. is a newly-formed non-profit activist collective focusing on community organizing and coalition building across barriers of race, gender, class, culture and sexuality.
We are an outgrowth of the Los Angeles punk underground which aims to channel much of the anger and despair of the punk/alternative scene into the creation of positive, empowering, sustainable solutions. Our membership is in no way limited to punks -- we welcome anyone and everyone with a desire to contribute their time and energy toward building a better world.
We believe in a world without war, hunger, pollution, oppression, hierarchies, borders, discrimination, consumerism and greed. We believe that everyone has a right to food, shelter, healthcare and education. We respect the earth, and all life upon it.
Our focus is creating change on a community scale. We intend to assist individual communities through education, community service and support, community organizing, advocacy and direct action. We expect to learn at least as much as we teach, and place our focus on the specific needs and concerns of each individual community.
Our long-term goal is to help empower individual communities to achieve urban sustainability through Permaculture and social activism. In the face of the coming Peak Oil/Global Warming crises, we believe that it is the bonds between people and their respective communities that will provide the base from which to build holistic dual power -- to shift the balance of power from on high to the people themselves.
Apathy is our common enemy. Radical Change begins with the decision to act.
