Since the fall 1998, HOPE members have been waging a campaign to win changes in the sexual harassment policies of the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD), and to establish a task force to monitor school compliance of sexual harassment policies. APIRH received a $25,000 grant toward this project.
