DEAR LOS ANGELES,
Thank you for picking up this booklet to learn more about the future we’re building at LA Civil Rights. In 2022, we celebrated our second year as a city department, and our first full year in our office space and John Lewis Conference Center in the LA Mall.
In many ways, 2022 was our biggest year yet. So much of what we have been building came to fruition this past year: The city’s first Discrimination Enforcement Unit, the city’s first Participatory Budgeting program, and the city’s first Office of Racial Equity, developed in partnership with Los Angeles communities, and many other equity based programming.
This is just the beginning. Already, 2023 has seen twice as many communities engage in our Participatory Budgeting program, an expansion of our discrimination investigation capacity, and new first-time programs to support equity, justice, and an LA for All.
If there’s only one thing you take away from this year’s Annual Report, it’s that LA Civil Rights is serious about moving our city into a brighter future - where communities are more meaningfully engaged with government, individuals have access to greater empowerment, and hate is met with swift justice and unified solidarity. So many of our programs are the first of their kind for Los Angeles - but they will not be the last. The seeds of equity we plant today will bloom into a more empowered, connected, and safer city tomorrow - and are helping us write LA’s next great chapter.
Thank you for being on this journey with us, and for your commitment to justice, equity and inclusion in the City of Angels.
Keep the faith and keep the fight,
Capri Maddox

OUR COMMISSIONS
Commission on Civil Rights
The Commission on Civil Rights (CCR), is responsible for investigating and addressing complaints of discrimination through fines and corrective measures, as outlined in Ordinance 187032, Article 16. The Commission works closely with the LA Civil Rights to ensure that businesses and individuals are held accountable for any discriminatory practices that prevent equal treatment in areas such as private employment, housing, education, or commerce.
Human Relations Commission
The Human Relations Commission (HRC) aims to promote equity, human rights, and intergroup harmony within the city through sustainable programs and policy changes. Established in 1966 through the City Charter in the aftermath of the Watts Civil Unrest, the Commission works to facilitate communication between local communities and city leadership and implement various intergroup engagement and peacebuilding strategies, including town halls, meetings, and facilitated dialogues. The HRC has co-hosted a number of public events and launched a podcast featuring diverse LA perspectives.
Commission on the Status of Women
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was established in 1975 with the purpose of improving the well-being of women and girls in Los Angeles and ensuring that women have equal participation in City government. The CSW has addressed a variety of issues, including Gender Equality & Workforce Development, Gender Equality & Transportation, Preventing Harassment & Discrimination in the Workplace, Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Female Homelessness, and more.
Reparations Advisory Commission
In June 2021, the City of Los Angeles established the Reparations Advisory Commission, a blue-ribbon task force composed of leading voices in activism, academia, law, and racial justice — which advises the City on a future reparations pilot program for a group of Black residents. The Commission held multiple town halls in 2022 as it developed its work.
Transgender Advisory Council
The Transgender Advisory Council (TAC) advises the Mayor, City Council, elected officials, and governmental agencies to implement policies, programs, and projects that tackle the issues that matter most to the transgender community in Los Angeles. TAC hosts job fairs, gender & sexuality diversity trainings, Pride events, and more.

OUR STORY
Created by the People, for the People.
It all started with a multi-racial coalition of workers and organizers. The Los Angeles Black Worker Center, in partnership with Instituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California (IDEPSCA) and UCLA Labor, locked arms and hit the streets for a local civil rights department. Their #LocalEnforcementNow movement of 2017 led to the city’s first Civil and Human Rights Law, and a new department - LA Civil Rights - to enforce it.
The coalition grew, and so did LA Civil Rights.
In our first year, founding Executive Director Capri Maddox met with over 350 community-based organizations. Five commissions, previously scattered across city departments, joined forces within LA Civil Rights. We launched the city’s first Office of Racial Equity, focused on growing equity and rooting out systemic racism. We created the city’s largest antihate PSA campaign in 18 languages. We’ve invested over $10 million in underserved communities and launched first-time programs to lift up a better Los Angeles.
Everything we do is in partnership with the community.
We believe in helping the people who help the people - nonprofits, community-based organizations, neighborhood councils, faith-based institutions and more. We have partnered with and supported hundreds of local organizations to affect change and invest in a more equitable and empowered Los Angeles.
Together, we are building an equitable, inclusive, and just Los Angeles for all.
WATCH “The Story of LA Civil Rights” on YouTube!
The LA Civil Rights Department was born from workers getting organized. The Black Worker Center, with a coalition of multicultural partners, spent years fighting for a city entity that could bring real justice to communities that have been wronged for too long. Workers know what our businesses and communities need and how to stop discrimination where it happens. LA Civil Rights has the potential to build a level playing field for workers across the City of Los Angeles.
— Lola Smallwood Cuevas California State Senator, 28th District Co-Founder of the LA Black Worker Center

DISCRIMINATION ENFORCEMENT
HAVE YOU FACED DISCRIMINATION IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES? LA CIVIL RIGHTS IS HERE TO HELP.
LA Civil Rights has the authority to enforce the city’s Civil and Human Rights Law, which prohibits discrimination in the private sector areas of commerce, education, employment, and housing.
Since our launch in November 2022, we have received hundreds of complaints and opened 84 cases that fell within our purview. We continue to grow our discrimination enforcement work, with multilingual advertising, direct community outreach, and partnership with trusted community-based organizations.
We are serious about tackling discrimination in our city. Born out of the organizing by the LA Black Worker Center, IDEPSCA, UCLA Labor and others, our Discrimination Enforcement program is the first time the City of Los Angeles has had the power to investigate discrimination and hold perpetrators accountable.
LA Civil Rights has the authority to address & investigate complaints of discrimination that happened within the last three years and within the City of Los Angeles. Where discrimination is found, our department has the power to level financial penalties up to $250,000 or impose corrective actions.
LA Civil Rights does not have the authority to investigate complaints against public entities including other city departments. Additionally, under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the State has authority over certain protected classes in housing and employment.

THE OFFICE OF RACIAL EQUITY
“We envision a City that authentically engages communities most harmed by systemic racism, as leaders and collaborators, in the process of identifying data, accessing and distributing public resources, and reforming policies that impact outcomes of civil, human rights, and equity.”
Policy Equity Lens
THE OFFICE OF RACIAL EQUITY PROVIDES RESEARCH AND EQUITY ANALYSIS ON CITY POLICY AND PROGRAMS.
BUDGET EQUITY REPORT VIOLENCE AGAINST BLACK & LATINA WOMEN
EQUITABLE DISASTER RELIEF
For the 2021-’22 City Budget, LA Civil Rights completed an equity assessment of the budget, looking for areas to provide better access for all Angelenos.

The Office studied how the city responds to emergencies and provided recommendations for a more equitable response in all communities.
Our Mission
The mission of the Office of Racial Equity is to propel the City’s commitment toward achieving equitable outcomes for internal and external stakeholders by proactively addressing systemic oppression through culture, policies, practices, and programs with an intersectional framework, resulting in equitable opportunities and access for historically marginalized communities.

Novel Programming

L.A. REPAIR
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Adopted Budget included $10M to launch the Los Angeles Reforms for Equity and Public Acknowledgment of Institutional Racism, or L.A. REPAIR. This first-of-its -kind framework aims to support nine underserved communities, known as L.A. REPAIR Zones, through community-led and city-funded programs.
L.A. REPAIR Zones
Repair Zones were selected based on a number of factors, including employment and poverty data, home access to Internet, COVID-19 case rates, the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index, the CalEnviroScreen environmental index, and historically “redlined” neighborhoods. These nine REPAIR Zones represent more than half of all Angelenos living in poverty, and each REPAIR Zone’s population is at least 87% people of color.
9 THE POPULATION, BUT OVER 33 % OF ZONES REPRESENTING 50 OF ANGELENOS LIVING IN POVERTY. %
Los Angeles has some of the lowest income and highest need areas in the country resulting from years of structural and institutional racism.
PROGRAMMING TO LIFT UP LOS ANGELES.
Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting gives real people real power over real money. L.A. REPAIR has built California’s largest participatory budgeting program, where nine REPAIR Zones have the power to decide how $8.5 million dollars of the city budget is spent in their neighborhoods.
Peace & Healing Centers
PROGRESS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT HEALING.
In many of Los Angeles’ most underserved communities, the impacts of generational trauma, historic disinvestment, and mass incarceration have fractured communities, leaving people without the social tools and resources to grow.
Our Peace & Healing Centers program is bringing $2 million to community-based organizations in nine REPAIR Zones to operate Peace & Healing Centers, focused on social, economic and environmental healing as well as inter-community peace building. Each
What is Participatory Budgeting?
L.A. REPAIR Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process to give underserved communities a direct say in their future. It deepens democracy, expands transparency, emphasizes Public Ownership of Government Resources, and builds stronger communities.
In 2022, we rolled out Participatory Budgeting in three REPAIR Zones - Boyle Heights, Mission Hills-Panorama CityNorth Hills, and Southeast LA - garnering hundreds of ideas to be voted on by the community. In 2023, we will begin the process in six REPAIR Zones - and grow from there.

Center will offer at least 20 hours a week of opendoor programming, and can provide programs like job training, nutrition and parenting courses, counseling services, and more.

LA FOR ALL HEALING CIRCLES
When tapes featuring city leaders engaging in hurtful and racist conversation came to light, we sprung into action.

Through the LA For All anti-hate campaign, we’ve trained hundreds of Angelenos on how to stand up to hate - and stand up for each other.
At a time when hate is rising across the country, the LA Civil Rights Department has established itself as a leader for standing up to hate and discrimination in Los Angeles. The work of LA Civil Rights, from equity programming to hate prevention to community peace-building, is urgently needed now.
