Almeda Plaza Missionary Baptist Church
Almeda Plaza Civic Club reflects the heart of grassroots civic participation. By fostering local agency, organizing residents, and interfacing directly with city systems, the club embodies Change Lab’s commitment to community voice, civic literacy, and cross-sector collaboration. Their work at the hyperlocal level strengthens the civic fabric and builds the trust, accountability, and public participation needed for broader systems change. As a consistent, decades-long presence in Houston’s civic life, they are a natural partner in advancing place-based, people-powered change.
Agents of Change – USC Dornsife
A project of the USC Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research, this Agents of Change initiative focuses on engaging civilians—especially underrepresented communities—in public policy research and action. The program seeks to amplify civic engagement and support pathways for Angelenos to shape policy decisions that impact their everyday lives.
