DescThe Urban Peace program reduces and prevents community violence, making poor neighborhoods safer so that children can learn, families can thrive and communities can prosper. Urban Peace has made significant strides in improving safety in Los Angeles communities by increasing the skills, knowledge and professionalism of public and private stakeholders working to reduce youth gang violence. Now in its eighth year, the Urban Peace Academy (UPA) has trained 2,400 gang violence interventionists, school leaders, parks and recreation workers and community residents. Over 800 gang interventionists are now certified to work for the Los Angeles Citys Gang Reduction and Youth Development program. And 900 law enforcement officers and over 400 LAPD officers have been trained. The UPA also provided training for gang intervention and community workers implementing the highly successful Los Angeles and Long Beach Summer Night Lights programs to work in the Citys 32 SNL Parks.Desc

DescEnding the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track Project: The Ending the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Project works with grassroots organizations throughout the country to examine, expose, and reform practices that lead to the criminalization of students. We support work on the ground, build capacity for community-led work, and build bridges amongst those working to end the schoolhouse to jailhouse track. Across the country, school systems are shutting the doors of academic opportunity on students and funneling them into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The combination of overly harsh school policies and an increased role of law enforcement in schools has created a school-to-prison pipeline, in which punitive measures such as suspensions, expulsions, and school-based arrests are increasingly used to deal with student misbehavior, and huge numbers of youth are pushed out of school and into prisons and jails. In many communities, this transforms schools from places of learning to dangerous gateways into juvenile court. This is more than an education crisis; it is a racial justice crisis, because the students pushed out through harsh discipline are disproportionately students of color.Desc

DescHealthy City is an information and action resource that unites community voices, research and technology to solve the root causes of social inequity in California. In 2013 we engaged over 3,060 community stakeholders and nonprofit professionals. In each setting, participants learned to incorporate data and geographic development in their community improvement efforts. Healthy City helped philanthropies such as The California Endowment, The California Wellness Foundation, and First 5 Los Angeles make more equitable and targeted investments in the health of communities. The Community Research Lab (CRL), a program that helps community-based organizations lead and sustain their own research, spent most of 2013 preparing for the expansion of our community research workshops across the state and to new audiences. Through some of our partnerships, we updated, translated into Spanish, and implemented some of our workshop curriculums to communities in Boyle Heights, Watts-Willowbrook, and Long Beach.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Strategic Communications: Advancement Projects strategic communications program adds capacity to state and local groups working to confront and dismantle structural racism. To achieve racial justice, Advancement Project uses carefully crafted legal, policy and communications strategies in support of grassroots movements. Since its inception, Advancement Project has employed strategic communications to promote local reform efforts and to influence the national discourse on issues of structural exclusion. Through the commission of public opinion research, crafting winning messages, training spokespeople, serving as a PR firm to local groups through the development and implementation of communications plans that include the use of traditional media (television and radio) as well as social media, Advancement Project seeks to move the dial on the civil rights issues of our time. We create echo chambers on issues to capture hearts and minds to provide an opening for change in policy and the law. In the area of voting rights, Advancement Project has conducted public opinion research, created messages and provided support to local groups to expose voter suppression and push for progressive reforms. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Restoration of Rights Project:Historically, Virginia was one of only four states that took away from all citizens convicted of a felony the fundamental right to vote for life unless they went through a lengthy and challenging individual petition process. Advancement Project's Restoration of Rights Project - a multi-racial, multigenerational rights restoration campaign seeks to establish full automatic restoration in Virginia. The Project, built on Advancement Project's previous clemency campaigns, is a definitive strike at this unfair disenfranchisement system. This project achieved a major milestone on the path to full automatic restoration in 2013. In May 2013, the Governor of Virginia issued an executive order to provide automatic restoration for those who were convicted of "non-violent" felony offenses. Advocacy and strategic communication efforts by Advancement Project and its grassroots partners played a major role in this significant victory. It also paved the way for a second victory in April 2014, when the Governor narrowed the list of felony offenses classified as violent by removing all drug charges from the list (expanding the number of citizens eligible for Virginias automatic voting rights restoration process) and reducing the five-year waiting period, for when people with violent convictions may apply to get their rights back, to three years. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Ending the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track Project: The Ending the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Project works with grassroots organizations throughout the country to examine, expose, and reform practices that lead to the criminalization of students. We support work on the ground, build capacity for community-led work, and build bridges amongst those working to end the schoolhouse to jailhouse track. Across the country, school systems are shutting the doors of academic opportunity on students and funneling them into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The combination of overly harsh school policies and an increased role of law enforcement in schools has created a school-to-prison pipeline, in which punitive measures such as suspensions, expulsions, and school-based arrests are increasingly used to deal with student misbehavior, and huge numbers of youth are pushed out of school and into prisons and jails. In many communities, this transforms schools from places of learning to dangerous gateways into juvenile court. This is more than an education crisis; it is a racial justice crisis, because the students pushed out through harsh discipline are disproportionately students of color. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Educational Equity launched SaveMySeatLA.org and made the impacts clear and showed the disparity inherent in early care and education services to low-income communities. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Educational Equity: The Educational Equity program ensures school facilities for all and expands educational opportunities for low-income children from birth through high school graduation. We helped make sure low-income Los Angeles public school students have over 120 new schools and California has renovated more than a million education spaces in high-need communities. Working with our partners, we made sure 5,000 low income LAUSD students had early learning opportunities. Through successful collaboration among several key ECE groups, including Advancement Project, California passed one of the nation's largest early education programs transitional kindergarten for 120,000 four year olds. The Water Cooler, a statewide network of 500 ECE advocates and providers ensures more coordinated and successful policy interventions with the Legislature. We are also working to ensure the newly implemented state school funding plan - the Local Control Funding Formula helps improve the educational outcomes of LAUSD students.
