ABC in the News
LA Data Spotlight

As part of ABC’s mission to raise awareness about issues that impact the Los Angeles Latino community, ABC has created an online 
LA Research Library that houses current education, economic development, housing and health research on Los Angeles County communities. This body of work not only informs ABC’s advocacy agenda but seeks to spark robust and critical civic dialog that will lead to action and change. 

In June, The Campaign for College Opportunity released a report card that grades the state of higher education in California. It grades California in regards to college preparation, college access, college completion and college affordability. The report serves as a call to California's elected leaders to ensure equitable access to and success in higher education for all students.
