Our 2024 Impact Report is now LIVE!

Catalyst California is proud to release our 2024 Impact Report, highlighting the remarkable progress we’ve made toward building a multiracial democracy where all Californians can thrive. Through our commitment to the racial justice movement, we are dismantling oppressive systems and reshaping structures, narratives, and understanding to create a more equitable and just society. 

The achievements in this report are not just ours but yours to celebrate. Whether you’re a community organizer, a passionate donor, or an advocate for equity, your partnership has made these victories possible. We’re so grateful to have you by our side, and we hope you feel as proud as we are of everything we’ve accomplished together.  

Some highlights of our 2024 Impact Report include: 

  • Secured victory for Measures DD and LL, giving important decision-making power to community members across Los Angeles and taking that power out of the hands of politicians. These measures enable changes to the City Charter, establishing Independent Redistricting Commissions in the City of LA and LA Unified School District.  
  • Trained nearly 500 participants through a virtual, multi-session Funding Racial Justice program designed to unpack local budget basics through a racial equity lens. In partnership with the California Budget & Policy Center and the Million Voters Project, we co-launched the statewide Budget Power Project, providing 23 local grassroots organizations with budget trainings, narrative workshops, and research and coaching support. 
  • Released End Gang Profiling in Southeast San Diego: Data and Stories from Community Members. The findings reveal a harrowing portrait of injustice: the San Diego Police Department is committed to a practice of criminalizing Black and Latinx residents in Southeast San Diego by profiling them as gang members.  
  • Continued advocacy on rate reform and the true cost of care for childcare providers. This includes the development of an alternative methodology process to better compensate childcare providers. The process also includes supports for Dual Language Learner children and family engagement.  

In the aftermath of devastating Southern California wildfires, and in the face of the threatening politics ushered in by a new administration, we are committed to building bonds of trust and partnership to address massive changes in the political landscape. Using our proven strategies – action research to inform advocacy, challenging and shifting public policy paradigms, and serving as a bridge between community leaders and those in power – we are equipped to meet the challenges of this evolving world. At the same time, we are helping build new alliances to address these new realities. Check out We Are California
