Why effective governance and inclusive democracy matter to you. And why you can’t have one without the other.
Why effective governance and inclusive democracy matter to you. And why you can’t have one without the other.
If you’re frustrated with how LA is governed, you’re not alone. In 2024, county voters voted for an historic change in governance. With LA County Measure G passing and on its way to implementation, we’re here to help you understand what it means, what’s changing, and how it affects you and your communities.
Government works best when it is both effective in getting things done and serves the people it represents. We believe governance and democracy go hand in hand to shape outcomes for everyone. See why good governance and a healthy democracy matter to you.
“This is the beginning of a new chapter for Los Angeles County governance—one where transparency, accountability, and public engagement are at the core of our work.”
LA County Board Chair
“LA County government underrepresents and underserves its people. Measure G…would change that. These changes are long overdue.”
The Haynes Foundation
serves the wider LA County
region, including five counties
that cover a vast territory of
Southern California.
For 100 years, the Haynes Foundation has believed that good governance isn’t an abstract idea, but the basis of a fair, equitable, and representative society. It shapes how our communities confront challenges and continue to thrive. In celebrating our 100th anniversary, we have renewed our commitment to strengthening governance and democracy in our region.
We’re deeply involved in LA County Reform (Measure G) and its
transformative changes in governance, and we hope you will be too.
