Our core values are justice, respect, responsibility, integrity, and voice. To do this SCOPE organizes communities, develops leaders, collaborates through strategic alliances, builds capacity through training, and educates about policies that affect this mission.SCOPE believes that the economic problems of South Los Angeles can only be solved by building grassroots power among low-income communities of color and that together their voices play a critical role in ensuring that government works for everyone. The organization utilizes a multi-dimensional approach to achieve its mission that includes community organizing and leadership development; career-path job creation and economic development campaigns; strategic research and analysis; and training and capacity-building.Community Organizing and Leadership Development: Organizing an active base among community residents is the centerpiece of SCOPEs approach to addressing the root causes of poverty. Through the use of popular education and community dialogue, organizers develop the political consciousness, analytical skills, and leadership capacities of SCOPEs members. Policy Campaigns: SCOPE emphasizes career-path and workforce development campaigns targeting regional growth industries in Los Angeles as the primary strategy for eradicating poverty conditions. These campaigns have resulted in model economic and workforce development programs that resulted in quality career opportunities for low-income communities of color. Over the past two years SCOPE has been working on RePower LA that leverages the municipal retrofit campaign model to residential retrofits. The organization is currently developing a new revenue campaign to ensure that government has the ability to invest in local communities to create jobs and provide public services. Strategic Research and Analysis: The research department delivers critical information to inform and support SCOPE's policy campaigns; partners with academic institutions to produce cutting-edge research; and develops tools and trainings to build a politically conscious movement and ensure community participation.Training and Capacity Building: Training and capacity building is a major aspect of SCOPE's contribution to movement building by increasing the capacities of other organizations and alliances working with poor and disadvantaged communities. SCOPE has assisted local and strategic allies across the country in developing landscape and policy analysis, campaign strategies, organizing programs, strategic planning, and organizational development plans. 3380043 true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 false 152 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 12 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false X X Karrie Harris 3237897920 1715 W Florence Avenue Los Angeles CA 90047 X Anita Thomas Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Dubon Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Oscar Lopez Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 York Chang Board Co-Chair 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clementina Lopez Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Isela Gracian Inter Asso Dir 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick Burns Board Co-Chair 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dae Yoon Executive Direc 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Coleman Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frances Jemmott Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Torres Jr President / CEO 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Taylor Mayfield Grassroots Lead 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sabrina Smith Grossroots Lead 40.00 0.00 X 85375 0 0 Karrie Harris Dawson Admin Director 40.00 0.00 X 69461 0 0 Anthony Thigpenn President 40.00 0.00 X 91237 0 0 Gloria Walton Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 79598 0 0 Lashawn White Admin.
