New Leaders Council Los Angeles

Fighting the June Gloom in LA is easy when you fight for a new kind of leader. Every day we fight to create inclusive and diverse brave spaces, we fight to make sure new ideas grow and are heard, we fight to ensure the names of our leaders are said and uplifted at the table.

Whatever you fight for from reproductive justice to more green spaces to worker’s right and disability rights, we stand with you.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our event this past Saturday.

Did you see our big announcement? You may remember the legendary Heroes at Villains and Ping Pong Progressives events from pre-pandemic days. Well, we're excited to introduce our newest signature event: Fighting June Gloom.

You don't want to miss this party with a purpose on Saturday June 8th from 5-7 at Audio Graph Brewing Co. The best way to fight the June Gloom in LA is to work towards a bright future when we invest in place-based leaders. From fighting for equal pay and workers' rights to climate justice and affordable housing, this event will celebrate the work of the people in our community who fight every day for a better LA, and re-energize ourselves to keep fighting the good fight.

WE FIGHT FOR A NEW KIND OF LEADER, WHAT DO YOU FIGHT FOR?
