Founded in 1973, the Coalition for Economic Survival (CES) is a grassroots multi-racial, multi-ethnic non-profit community based organization. CES is dedicated to organizing low and moderate income people to win economic and social justice.

CES assists working and low-income people throughout the greater Los Angeles area and surrounding counties in working together to empower themselves to impact the decision making processes that effect their day-to-day lives.

CES is committed to actively opposing any type of prejudice or discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, age, religion, income, disability or sexual orientation.
