Watts
WLCAC, or Watts Labor Community Action Committee, has been a cornerstone of support for families in Watts, Los Angeles, since its founding in the 1960s. Established by Ted Watkins during the Civil Rights movement, the organization focuses on empowering individuals through programs aimed at family stability, employment assistance, homelessness prevention, and cultural enrichment.
Over the years, WLCAC has evolved to address the ongoing challenges of poverty and homelessness in the area, cultivating generational wealth through initiatives like urban agriculture and community wellness. Guided by the vision of the Watkins family, the organization is dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents and fostering economic growth through storytelling and cultural sharing.
