How We Do It
Policy advocacy, data research and power building are how we advance the needs of low-income communities. Through rigorous analysis, we reveal the disparities in our state and support ground-level advocates with the tools to enact change.
Our team of data and policy experts use rigorous research methods to pinpoint social and economic problems affecting California’s most disadvantaged populations.


We leverage key relationships with local leaders and policymakers to push forward progressive policies rooted in equity and evidence.
Californians understand their communities’ strengths and challenges, and they have insight on ways to overcome the challenges they and their neighbors face. What they often don’t have is the ability to be heard by those in power. This is where we come in.
