Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE)

Join us in welcoming South LA’s own Marcus McKinney as SCOPE’s new Executive Director. With 20+ years organizing for real community change, Marcus steps into leadership with deep local roots.

Celebrating SCOPE’s legacy and the community that built us. We’re looking back at moments from our archives as we continue the important work of our leadership transition — and keep organizing for a stronger South LA.

At SCOPE, we’ve been building systems of care that strengthen our collective power. We are the center of community-led change.

First day back at Augustus Hawkins High School in South LA, with love, snacks, and support. With ICE targeting students and safety concerns near schools, we are making this clear: our campuses are safe spaces. How is your community stepping up to protect students? Let us know in the comments.

Flyer titled “Reclaim Our Streets – South LA: Florence Takeover.” The background features bold, vibrant colors with a stylized illustration of community members holding signs, drums, and instruments in a street procession. Key phrases in large font include: “Black and Brown Solidarity,” “Stop the Raids,” “ICE Out of South Central,” and “We Protect Each Other.” Event details read: “Tuesday, July 29 at 4 PM. Meet at SCOPE – 1715 W. Florence Ave. Procession to Florence & Normandie and back.” Bottom of the flyer includes info about free food, music, mutual aid, and community care. The tone is bold, energetic, and rooted in cultural pride and resistance.

Volante que dice “Reclama Nuestras Calles – Sur de Los Ángeles: Toma de Florence.” Tiene colores vivos y un dibujo de gente de la comunidad marchando con letreros, tambores y músicos. Algunas frases grandes dicen: “Solidaridad entre Negros y Latinos,” “Alto a las redadas,” “ICE fuera del Sur Central,” y “Nos cuidamos entre nosotros.” El evento es el martes 29 de julio a las 4 PM. El punto de encuentro es en SCOPE: 1715 W. Florence Ave. Habrá una procesión a Florence y Normandie y luego de regreso. Abajo dice que habrá comida gratis, música, ayuda mutua y comunidad. El mensaje es de orgullo, unidad y resistencia.

Florence & Normandie is an intersection of resistance. 

On July 29 at 4 PM, we’re reclaiming it for our people.
Black and Brown communities are rising up in South LA. Join the procession. Free food & music.
