The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable has served the LA community since 2001 as a non-profit multi-ethnic education and civic engagement forum with the purpose of providing information, creating dialogue, promoting public engagement, and enacting policy changes.

Founded by political analyst and author Earl Ofari Hutchinson, the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable seeks to promote public policy changes through the active encouragement of government officials and business leaders, weekly roundtable discussions, and charitable donations. The Roundtable focuses on crucial problems such as police-minority relations, employment discrimination, public school improvement, criminal justice and penal issues, urban and neighborhood renewal, urban toxic hazards and at-risk youth problems. Public policy successes in 2009 include a campaign to reduce murder violence in Los Angeles, a Justice Department review of Inglewood police practices, a hit and run driver prevention safety campaign, the launch of Operation Haitian Missing Person, the exposure of child family service agency negligence, and the HIV-AIDS and swine flu health initiative.
