We are deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of our former colleague, Donte Woods. Donte worked at Community Coalition as an Outreach Specialist, building connections, organizing, and helping strengthen the movement for justice in South Los Angeles.

If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Donte, you knew that he proudly carried his community of Watts with him wherever he went — always advocating and believing that justice was not only possible, but necessary.

He moved people with his personality, his jokes, his compassion, and his unwavering commitment to racial justice. Our deepest condolences go out to his family in this moment of grief. Rest in power, Donte. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

We will gather to honor Donte’s life, his legacy, and the light he brought into this world.

🕯 Vigil for Donte Woods
📍 Community Coalition (8101 S. Vermont Ave.)
📅 Tuesday, December 9
⏰ 6:00 PM

All who knew and loved Donte are welcome. May we hold each other close as we remember him.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, your generosity can help power our work throughout the year and support critical programs for our youth and community.

This year, we organized and showed what’s possible:
• Protecting families from ICE
• Mobilizing voters
• Defending SENI funding
• Providing mutual aid after the fires

These wins are about US.

Every gift can make an impact. You can donate through the link in our bio or at CoCoSouthLA.org. Be sure to click on the donate now button.

We’re grateful for our continued partnership with and Toyota USA. Each year, we host an annual Turkey Giveaway and Holiday Dinner. Earlier this week, we distributed 175 turkeys and served over 120 residents a warm meal. The evening was filled with laughter, dancing, and joy as we came together in community.

Last night, we heard the powerful stories and demands of our youth and community members. As the Equity Alliance for LA’s Kids, we represent hundreds of students, families, and residents across the district who are directly impacted by the equity investments that we are addressing. We call upon the district to do right by high-need students, and not balance the budget on the backs of our community.

Our top priorities include:
- protecting the full $700M SENI investment, which includes using SENI as the central equity tool for district budget decisions

- strengthening and sustaining investments in equity-centered programs like BSAP

- supporting, affirming, protecting, and retaining diverse educators and staff

Ultimately, our demands center on providing meaningful opportunities and equitable environments for our students, educators, and staff to thrive. So let’s make it clear, a fight to protect SENI is a fight to protect us!

Black and Brown veterans have served — and sacrificed — in every U.S. conflict.Our responsibility doesn’t end with “thank you for your service.” It begins by ensuring veterans have the resources they need to live and thrive — including healthcare, food assistance, and housing. We must show up for them and honor their service with real support because service deserves justice.

35 years strong. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼

CoCo has been the birthplace of strategic alliances and transformative campaigns that have won fights for public safety, quality education, criminal justice reform, housing and equity across Los Angeles.

This photo reel spans three and a half decades of joy, resistance, and community. Every image tells the story of our members, youth, and residents who have mobilized, organized, and reimagined what’s possible.

Here’s to many more years of resistance.

Rent is out of control... and it’s because LA’s rent control formula hasn’t been updated in 40 years.

The Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LARSO) is supposed to protect renters, but its outdated formula has allowed rents to skyrocket.

Demand the LA City Council % to keep families in their homes and protect working-class people.

COUNCIL votes Wednesday, Nov. 12! (8am-1pm) at City Hall.

📣 Pull up. Speak out. Tag your councilmember. Tell them to %!
