⭐ VOTE FOR A BETTER LA →

WOAH. We're halfway through LA2050 Grants Challenge voting!

Thousands of Angelenos have cast their votes so far, both online and in person at our pop-up experiences. Over the past two weeks, we've hosted our voting booths at five iconic locations around Los Angeles. We engaged with bookworms at the Los Angeles Central Library, hikers and tourists at Griffith Observatory, sweet treat lovers at Randy's Donuts, families at the Los Angeles Zoo, and plant enthusiasts at Theodore Payne Foundation.
