Community Economies

LA Más is dedicated to strengthening the local economy and ensuring working-class residents remain rooted in Northeast LA. We invite our allies and neighbors – members of our solidarity ecosystem – to join us in this mission. We invest in existing practices by providing resources and creating a hub where working class neighbors have options to grow their economic livelihoods.
