Our Mission
The Los Angeles Governance Reform Project (LAGRP) is a nonpartisan coalition of scholars, civic leaders, and organizations aiming to improve how Los Angeles is governed. Our mission is to ensure that every community has a voice in local government through fair representation, ethical leadership, and transparent systems.
Why It Matters
In light of recent public trust issues and systemic challenges, LAGRP was formed to reimagine and redesign governance structures. Our work is based on research, community engagement, and data-driven recommendations.
Key Recommendations
- Independent Redistricting: Create impartial commissions for fair council and school board districting.
- Council Expansion: Increase the number of districts for better representation of Los Angeles’s diverse population.
- Ethics Oversight: Strengthen the City Ethics Commission to promote integrity in government.
