Since it's our 50th anniversary, we figured there's no better time for a reintroduction! 🎉
For five decades, PACE has been empowering underserved communities through economic opportunity. We tackle poverty and inequality with holistic solutions, equipping our clients with the tools to achieve lasting economic mobility.
Join us as we celebrate this milestone and continue the journey. 💙
We left the CA vs Hate Civil Rights Summit in San Francisco feeling inspired and energized. 🧡
For more than three years, PACE has proudly supported anti-hate efforts as a Stop the Hate grantee. It was meaningful to be in community with so many people committed to building a safer, more inclusive California.
Learn more and explore PACE's multilingual anti-hate resources at the link in bio. 🙌
Thank you to @calcivilrights for hosting such a great event!
Yesterday, @mayorofla visited PACE to announce a major milestone: more than $45 million in contracts secured for Los Angeles small businesses through ProcureLA. 🎉
As the operator of ProcureLA, we’re proud to partner with the Mayor’s Office to help local entrepreneurs become contract-ready and compete for major opportunities tied to the 2028 Games and beyond. 🌟
Just a few of the incredible success stories from the program:
- @cuernavacasgrill_ securing a FIFA World Cup contract
- @nappilynaturals expanding its wellness brand
- @wickedbionic winning government contracts
- @hollywoodhandy leading multimillion-dollar projects
This is what investing in small businesses looks like. 💙 Check the link in bio to learn more!
Hoy me enorgulleció anunciar que ProcureLA ha ayudado a conseguir más de $45 millones en contratos para negocios locales.
Lancé ProcureLA para ayudar a las empresas locales a prepararse, conectarse y competir por grandes contratos. Estos contratos permiten que los negocios crezcan, contraten más empleados y compitan por nuevas oportunidades.
Con grandes eventos acercándose, mi administración está trabajando para que más recursos lleguen a las empresas que viven y trabajan aquí en Los Ángeles.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month! 🌸
This May, PACE honors the cultures, stories, and strength of the AAPI community and the history that shaped us.
While our legacy is rooted in AAPI history, our work today has never been more urgent. As inequality deepens, we remain committed to expanding economic opportunity for communities across Los Angeles.
PACE was so grateful to attend the reopening of the @UCLALabor Center last week! ✨
It was wonderful to celebrate a space that continues to bring together workers, students, and community members in the fight for equity and dignity.
Hollywood entrepreneurs, this one's for you. 🎬💼
