​WHO WE ARE:
Girls Revolution  is a group of empowered female students in grades 6th-8th at Clinton Middle School.  This is our third year participating in Girls Build LA, and we are super excited! At our roots we are community advocates and we love South LA so much that it only makes sense for us to focus on prominent issues that are currently impacting our community.   South LA is    disproportionately predominantly a Latino and Black community  that is   affected by high rates of poverty and unemployment, as well as   suffering from inadequate fresh food options.   As Covid-19 began  affecting the world we started seeing the direct impact it was having on our community, and  all the previously existing   injustices only became that much more prominent.   Due to this we as a team decided to change the direction of our goals to focus on addressing the immediate needs of our community which was food access and food justice.

​
MISSION STATEMENT:
We are committed to fostering a love of community through civic engagement on issues that impact everyone of us . Prior to Covid-19 our group's focus was on a topic near and dear to our hearts -  community safety, specifically pedestrian safety.  As Covid-19 began affecting our communities with school closures, job loss, food /supply shortages , we transitioned to food security and food justice for our most in need community members. Although our project plan changed our roots remained the same which  was to   aim to strengthen our community by focusing on social advocacy, volunteerism,  and spreading education on policies  and laws that affect the day to day lives of individuals. We maintained our desire to no longer  normalize the barriers  that so often obstruct  progress for our communities, but instead focused on immediate action, in hopes of empowering others to join us in  working toward solutions for our community, our families and future generations. ​
