LAANE (Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy) LAANES main focus was to “create a new economy for all”, due to the wide range of different people who stemmed from all type of different organizations LAANE was able to accomplish a lot. These individuals came from different environmental groups, unions, elected officials and even Civil Rights organizations. With all of these different experts being able to put in their input on what LAANE should be about, it became relatively easy for them to start on different projects to jump-start their idea to “create a new economy for all”.

Mission
LAANES main focus was cut edge and right to the point: To create good jobs, thriving communities and a healthy environment for everyone.

Jobs

 * Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinancewhich will ensure good green jobs for thousands of construction workers and provide middle-class career opportunities to at-risk populations. With this it's important to note that a lot of the opportunity for jobs was profitable due to different problems taking place with the environment.


 * Los Angeles Service Contract Workers Retention Ordinance, which increased the job security for thousands of workers employed by city contractors.One group of employees that became relatively known for their Jobs being saved in recognition of the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy were grocery workers.

Environment

 * Port of Los Angeles Clean Trucks Program, Its became common that Los Angels methods for pollution are terrible, especially when dealing with WHAT to do with our waste. This provides key points in whats necessary to do to fix this.

Important Fact For Environment
What’s interesting and beneficial about waste in the environment is that if a city is to deal with it appropriately, ultimately the waste can benefit the city both economically and with the environment. With this comes jobs and LAANAE has made it clear that if handled correctly “revamped trash collection and stepped-up recycling would open the door for potential for green jobs” The study concluded that “For every job at a landfill ten positions could be created” of course if the trash was dealt with and put away in the right fashion rather than buried. Schematically, you’ll be killing two birds with one stone. LAANE has taken on this responsibility head on, and has proposed to the official head of waste that, “Improved trash collection provides both economic and environmental benefits”.

Communities
The subject of “Communities” when trying to enhance an economy can become tricky, because there are so many different things within the community that can ultimately affect economy weather it is good or bad.

Protecting The Workers What’s not exactly fair for grocery workers is that their job isn’t as stable as it should be. Especially when dealing with those who are responsible for the consumption of food for millions of people in Los Angeles. The main problem was for many years anytime a grocery store was bought out by a new owner, that new owner was granted the right to bring his or her own team to work the grocery stores that they had just purchased. Well the problem with this, lies with those who were already working at these different grocery stores. Where do they go?


 * Wal-Mart Ballot Initiative Campaign, in which a ballot measure sponsored by Wal-Mart was defeated in Inglewood, preventing the world’s largest retailer from building a superstore without a public review or environmental impact report. This has a lot to do with a community being able to help themselves keep their jobs
