Fall 2020 was an incredible time, with pandemic in full swing and political upheavals driving an overwhelmingly intense news cycle. In this environment, the Cultural Change Project at Cal State LA brought together students to develop proposals to create and share beliefs, values, and institutions that addressed the most pressing problems facing local communities in LA and the nation as a whole.

The gallery below collects the best of these portfolios. Many come with contact info and next steps on the last page – feel welcome to reach out and connect with these changemakers, and above all enjoy engaging with their proposals for meaningful change.
