Justice. Equity. Community. Progress.
As a Black-led nonprofit, NextGen Policy advances policies and programs focused on equity and justice for all Californians. We’ve helped pass over 250 laws and secured more than $50 billion in budget funding across a broad array of areas, including climate, higher education, workforce development, food insecurity, and digital inclusion. We excel at diagnosing policy challenges and pulling the right levers to create real change.
