Today, we are all challenged to continue the nonviolent struggle for real equality, authentic justice and responsible freedom for all. This means ensuring that our nation provides stable living-wage jobs, quality healthcare and education, affordable housing, and an environment of peace for all.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles is committed to continuing the legacy of our founder, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which is the nonviolent opposition to social and economic injustices wherever and whenever they may exist. It is our objective to lead the fight against oppression, working together with churches, community based organizations, labor unions, and the community at large to validate the dignity and worth of every human being. We must remember, “A house divided shall not stand”. Together, we will build the “ Beloved Community” envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. |

The Mission of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles (SCLC/LA) is to promote the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of non-violent progressive social change. Our roots extend deeply into the African American religious experience with its biblical vision of liberation of all humankind. Our goal is to realize the dream of freedom, justice, peace and equality for all by recognizing the inalienable dignity and worth of every human being. We accomplish this through the continued advocacy of justice for all people, regardless of social status, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. We affirm nonviolence as the only reasonable basis for social change and interpersonal living. These two principles are reflected in our work.
Therefore, SCLC/LA will always struggle against employment and housing discrimination, substandard health and human services and police abuse! We will always work for quality integrated education, full political participation, the economic rights of workers, equal pay for equal work, and the redress and reconciliation all international human conflicts and violations. The SCLC mission and mandate is unchanged: To organize and mobilize the strength of America's moral consciousness.
SCLC/LA is committed to this vision and the Greater Los Angeles community. |
