Activities
The SCOPE Agenda Action Fund intends to mobilize constituents in South Los Angeles to create systemic policy changes that it sees as beneficial to low-income communities and communities of color. 2
As of 2026, SCOPE Action was listed as a member of California Environmental Justice Alliance Action (CEJA Action), which at the time was also a fiscally sponsored project of Beyond Impact. CEJA Action engages voters in communities of color in order to advance policies it deems environmentally and socially just. 3
In 2024, SCOPE Action endorsed George Gascon for reelection for Los Angeles District Attorney, claiming that he was committed to justice reform and community-first policies that would make Los Angeles a fairer and more equitable city. 4
In 2021, SCOPE Action urged its followers to vote against the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). It claimed that the recall process was undermining democratic values and pushing a conservative agenda that would have negative effects on communities of color. 5
In 2020, SCOPE Action was a partner of the Liberty Hill Foundation’s Liberty Vote! initiative to support nonpartisan electoral engagement efforts meant to increase participation in so-called disenfranchised Los Angeles county communities. Partner organizations were awarded grants to support voter education, mobilization, and registration, along with community leadership training during the 2020 election year. 6
