Better Watts Initiative

The mission of the Better Watts Initiative is to identify health injustices that plague the historic community of Watts in South Central Los Angeles and support equitable community development. We target these injustices in the short term by empowering residents of Watts with information, and resources to combat health risks. We address health injustices longterm by encouraging elected officials representing Watts to advocate for improvements of the top five social determinants of health: (1) Education, (2) Economic Stability, (3)Health Care, (4)the Environment and (5) Community.
