LA for All is a multilingual, citywide PSA campaign by LA Civil Rights that launched in May 2021 to stop hate and foster belonging and inclusion in Los Angeles through artwork and resources for reporting hate crimes and hate incidents. But LA for All is also much more than a campaign. It is a framework for facilitating cross-cultural dialogue, a call to action for a more inclusive city, and a creative movement to overcome hate by celebrating diversity, building solidarity and making clear that LA is for everyone.
