Activities or mission (Part I)

Founded in 1994 as a fiscally-sponsored project of the national Faith in Action Network and spun off as an independent 501c3 nonprofit in 2021 along with the 501c4 PICO California Action Fund, we are a network of organizations that, through community organizing, builds power across race, faith, and class with congregations and faith-based, spiritually-rooted individuals who take action for racial and economic justice in California.Our vision is a Moral Economy for California which includes structural campaigns that result in significant material improvements for the most vulnerable Californians: making affordable and dignified housing a human right, reducing the number of people incarcerated and increasing job and housing opportunities for those returning home, creating conditions for low-income workers to thrive in family-sustaining jobs, funding schools and communities more than law enforcement and prisons, ensuring inclusion of all immigrants and refugees, and creating a government

  • - We held a weeklong statewide leadership training at a retreat center with 106 leaders, clergy, tribal elders, and organizers across the state. It was the first in-person training since the start of the pandemic. - In coordination with the Millions Voters project we ran a six week nonpartisan voter engagement campaign across the state about the importance of peoples voice and their vote.- We contacted 140,909 low-propensity voters and voters of color, we identified 80,796 supporters and nearly 40,000 people opted in to receive more information about organizing. - PICO California spoke on the phone with 27,293 faith and spiritually-rooted Californians about housing as a basic human right, an economy that works for everyone - not just big industry and the wealthy - and the value of joining together across our differences to effect change in our communities. - We also reached 309,456 people online to amplify our on-the-ground organizing, utilizing a digital tool kit created in partnership with MVP. - As a network we also hosted 18 non-partisan sheriff, city council, school board, mayoral, and county supervisor candidate forums - attended by over two thousand people - where we presented stories of directly impacted people, outlined our policy and structural change priorities, and won commitments from candidates to work for racial and economic justice on behalf of families and communities.
