California community polL
HOPE has partnered with the Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment (CAUSE) and the Los Angeles Urban League to conduct a series of statewide polls to better understand how California's most prominent ethnic groups feel about race relations, discrimination and public policy issues.
Starting in February of 2020, with follow up surveys in July and November of 2020, April 2021 and 2022, and its most recent iteration in June 2023, the data provide a historical timeline of our communities’ opinions and priorities over the course of this historic time including perceptions of policing, COVID-19, education, discrimination, and immigration.
