“It’s not ‘What can we do to fix racism?’ It’s ‘What can we do to be a part of the solution?’ Being an ally is great, but we’re in a time where being an ally is simply not enough. We need accomplices.” - @TamikaButler #AngelenosForLA

“There are a variety of ways to be civically engaged, not just voting. It’s about finding the space that works best for us, think of what you are doing to open those spaces up for young people.” - Vaneisha Rees, @CoroSoCal Fellow #AngelenosForLA

Sports unifies the city more than anything else. Wanna see what LA looks like? Go to a @Dodgers game. LA fans are the smartest and most sophisticated fans in the world. We demand entertainment, we demand winning & we bond. - @BillPlaschke @latimessports #AngelenosForLA

How do we create an engine that activates people in a positive way & drown out the 16% of people who have dominated the negative conversation on #homelessness in LA? - @tpnewman describing the impetus for @LAUnitedWay’s #EveryoneIn campaign #AngelenosForLA
