Our Priorities Areas
A Commitment to Racial Justice
Liberty Hill supports a transformational movement for racial justice that seeks to dismantle systemic racism and traditional systems of harm in America. To strengthen that movement racial justice has always been embedded into the core principles of all of our work.
Youth & Transformative Justice
Our Youth & Transformative Justice priority area is focused on investing in youth and communities, not incarceration. We seek to shift power from current punishment systems to people disproportionately impacted by criminalization, while dismantling these harmful systems, and working toward reimagined approaches to justice that focus on investing in communities and youth development, rather than prisons and surveillance.
LGBTQ & Gender Justice
Our LGBTQ & Gender Justice priority area is focused on ensuring that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, and queer leaders are equipped and supported in the fight to end discrimination and expand opportunity. We place a particular focus on low-income, often immigrant, queer people of color who are frequently at the forefront of fights for workers rights, racial justice, and reform of the criminal justice and immigration systems. That’s why we incorporate a focus on LGBTQ and Gender Justice into our other priority areas as well.
Environmental & Climate Justice
Environmental justice is a cornerstone of social justice. And for low-income communities and communities of color, environmental racism means the increased dangers of exposure to environmental hazards are severe. Through our Environmental & Climate Justice priority area, we support several programs and initiatives to fight for a safer, healthier, cleaner, and more resilient LA.
Economic & Housing Justice
Our Economic & Housing Justice priority area supports organizing that builds prosperous communities through living wages, worker protections, and fighting for housing as a human right for all. Through this priority area, we fund grassroots groups like worker centers, tenant rights groups, and advocacy campaigns fighting for basic labor rights and worker protections, stopping wage theft, ensuring fair wages, and fighting for housing as a human right.
