Our mission is to catalyze faith-based and spiritually-centered people power to create systemic change so that all Californians thrive.
The Director
“Él que madruga, Dios lo ayuda” (“Those who rise early will find favor with God”) was a saying I grew up hearing in my family of workers.
The other morning, I woke up to go running, as I often do. But this morning felt different. The Santa Ana winds were gusting fiercely across Southern California, knocking over trash cans and scattering leaves and debris across the streets. The news reported an overnight wind-driven fire raging near the coast.
When I returned, the dawn’s light was just beginning to turn the horizon a deep blue, silhouetting the towering trees that line my family’s street. Leaves swirled in the wind, and I watched as the branches swayed. I wondered: How long have these trees stood in this old neighborhood? And how long will they remain after we are gone? I thought about the earthquakes, fires, and floods these trees have weathered over the years and marveled at their resilience. Through it all, they stand faithfully rooted, transformed by the seasons—shedding leaves, exposing branches, and patiently absorbing what each season provides. In time, they emerge taller, wiser, and more vibrant, offering nests to birds and life-giving nourishment to the air.
A prayer from my Catholic Christian tradition often comes to mind:
Lord, as the seasons turn, creation teaches us of grief, patience, and renewal. Make us good students of these rhythms.
In 2024, PICO California experienced many seasons, each with its own beauty and challenges.
We launched our Moral Economy campaigns at a spirited Statewide Leadership Assembly in January with 400 clergy, leaders, tribal elders, and organizers. Inspired by Dr. Robert Ross, Michael Tubbs, and other luminaries, we committed to ”good trouble.” Through the spring, thousands of people of faith and spirit organized statewide and in Sacramento, advancing efforts to Make Home Sacred. Through hundreds of public actions, research meetings, and town halls with elected officials in our state legislature, we secured $1 billion in state funding for affordable housing, won crucial housing
resources for vulnerable farmworker communities, and expanded eligible land for affordable housing statewide. In the summer, PICO staff and their families gathered in San Diego for a weeklong retreat, learning from leaders like U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler, Dr. Hahrie Han, and Civil Rights legend JoAnne Bland.
Partnering with the Million Voters Project, we engaged over 80,000 voters in live conversations about the November election to generate support for affordable housing and defeat efforts to re-incarcerate millions. Together, we secured new resources for deeply affordable housing in San Francisco, millions of dollars for gun violence prevention programs in Oakland, and billions for vulnerable renters, affordable housing construction, and homelessness prevention in Los Angeles County.
As we look to 2025, we face new uncertainties and challenges. Vulnerable communities—including immigrants, unhoused individuals, the formerly incarcerated, and those relying on Medi-Cal—face growing threats. California continues to become increasingly unaffordable for poor and working families.
But like the trees, Community Organizers are made for this season. Our roots—our relationships—ground us and give us power. When we draw close to the storms in one another’s lives and the world around us, we become better students of social change. Acting together, we grow stronger, more capable of transforming lives through what JoAnne Bland calls “steady loving confrontation.” This season will demand adaptation, innovation, and courage from all of us.
Let us be like the trees, trusting that God, our Creator, and the Spirit of prophetic love will guide us and provide all we need to patiently build power and renew the face of the earth.
Thank you for being one of our trees.
In faith, love, and power,
Joseph

OUR GOALS FOR THE YEAR
This year, we planned to build upon past successes by continuing to address the existential economic, health, and environmental crises facing Californians. Our vision is to organize for 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, ensuring inclusion of all immigrants and refugees, and creating a government that is effective in caring for all Californians.
Our goals for the year included:
1.
Building a statewide, multi-racial and multi-faith movement for racial and economic justice, anchored by deep relationships through power building, leadership development, and organizing.
2.
Building public support for a shift in public resources and new investments intended to advance economic opportunity and mobility for communities of color and economically disenfranchised families and children.
3.
Scaling grassroots volunteer leadership throughout PICO California’s local affiliate network.
4.
Strengthening PICO California’s internal organization, partnerships, and culture to be more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable.
Home Is Sacred
Building upon our successful efforts in 2023 to pass three pieces of groundbreaking legislation to protect renters and increase California’s painfully short supply of affordable housing, the PICO California network continued our statewide organizing momentum to address the state’s massive housing affordability and homelessness crisis.
YES IN GOD’S BACKYARD
Last year, PICO California played a critical role in passing legislation that opened 171,000 acres of potentially developable land across the state on which tens of thousands of housing units could be built.
PICO California co-sponsored and organized to pass this legislation, SB4, which streamlined the state approval process for affordable housing development on faith institutions and school land, keeping communities vibrant and intact.
California’s historic zoning reforms sparked momentum among faith communities, empowering them to play an active role in tackling the housing crisis. Through the leadership of our PICO California affiliate LA Voice’s Faith in Housing program, nearly 80 member congregations,
including Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faith communities, are now pursuing affordable housing developments on their own properties. This interfaith coalition has become a driving force for change, establishing our network as a leader in creating affordable housing solutions across California.
The NY Times highlighted several of our shovel-ready projects that were enabled by the organizing of community leaders in faith institutions across the state. Since its passing, SB4 has become a national model. Earlier this year, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown introduced the “Yes In God’s Backyard Act” in Congress to provide grants for faith-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and local governments to increase the supply of affordable rental housing.
“Once upon a time, the members of the congregation, they were the bankers, they ran the local clinics, they were the managers for the grocery store — the community partnerships were inherent because the leaders of those institutions were also the members of the church. Becoming one of the centers of community life again, but in a new way — that’s what we’re preparing for and creating.”

PROTECTING RENTERS
Two landmark pieces of legislation that PICO California was instrumental in securing in 2023—SB567 and AB1418— were aimed at protecting renters against common loopholes that unscrupulous corporate landlords use to process evictions and increase rents beyond what would otherwise be legally allowed.
Since taking effect in April 2024, the PICO California network has been dedicated to ensuring that rentburdened families and those at risk of eviction fully benefit from these protections through efforts such as:
• Educating renters on their rights
• Identifying violations of state law and building bridges between our communities and local District Attorney offices
• Organizing tenants who are rent burdened and/or at risk of eviction
• Using our public communications efforts to reinforce the importance of these laws to keep people in their homes and prevent homelessness
SAFEGUARDING HOUSING PROGRAMS AND DEFENDING DEMOCRACY
United with coalition partners including Housing Now California and Social Housing Action Campaign (SHAC), PICO California led a mobilization effort to secure $1 billion in state funding for affordable housing.
The outcome was especially poignant for our communities in light of the significant state budget cuts that took place this year and the removal of a major housing bond from the November ballot.
Additionally, we joined coalition efforts to prevent a proposed ballot initiative that would have restricted local governments’ ability to raise essential funds for affordable housing and other critical community services. Our work contributed to a California Supreme Court decision to remove this restrictive measure from the ballot, upholding the power of communities to support and shape their future.
ONE MILLION AFFORDABLE HOMES
Our “Moral Economy Summer” was an inspiring season of organizing as thousands of grassroots leaders rallied across California to build momentum around Gov. Newsom’s campaign pledge to build one million deeply affordable homes and commit to identify funding mechanisms to get there.
Through community actions, research meetings with legislators, and nonpartisan candidate forums, the voices of our PICO California network were heard loud and clear from city halls to the state capitol.
BY THE NUMBERS:
16
CANDIDATE FORUMS
with 81 candidates, including 5 tribal council candidates, 19 city council candidates, 10 Mayoral candidates, 2 Congressional candidates, 4 County Board of Supervisors candidates, 4 State Senate candidates, 4 State Assembly candidates, and 33 School Board candidates.
RESEARCH MEETINGS/ACTIONS
25 including 10 Assemblymembers, 2 State Senators, 5 County Supervisors, 5 City Council members, 1 Vice-Mayor, and 2 School Board Members.
LOCAL HOUSING VICTORIES
More families will have access to affordable homes thanks to the dedicated grassroots organizing of local PICO affiliate Faith in Action East Bay. Their efforts were instrumental in passing a law (AB1893) that increases eligibility of lands available for affordable homes.
Local PICO affiliate Faith in the Valley was instrumental in mobilizing grassroots support for a bill to authorize the CA Department of Housing and Community Development to keep its 24 migratory farmworker housing centers open year round, rather than operate only a few months each year. This bill, AB2240, ensures that Home is Sacred for all by providing relief for farmworkers and their families in dire need of shrinking affordable housing options.
Restorative Justice
Police misconduct, gun violence, mass incarceration, and the cruel treatment of migrants continued to put pressure on poor and working class Californians in 2024. But our PICO California network from grassroots leadership, to organizers, to clergy, continued to lead on public safety reform efforts.
REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE
Operation Ceasefire was a key reason that crime in Oakland fell precipitously this year, with a 10% drop in homicides compared to 2023.
Ceasefire is a nationally recognized gun violence prevention strategy that involves police, faith communities, and non-law enforcement service providers, communicating directly with people who are at the highest risk of violence and offering them a pathway out.
Local PICO California affiliate Faith in Action East Bay (FIAEB), a multi-faith nonprofit organization comprising 23 congregations across Alameda and Contra Costa counties, this year commemorated 12 years of co-leading the Oakland Ceasefire Partnership. Given a 50% decrease in shootings and homicides over the program’s first decade,
the Oakland Ceasefire Partnership has conservatively led to several hundred lives saved.
In addition to dedicating staff resources to the partnership, FIAEB organizes Ceasefire Night Walks. These public walks, beginning from houses of worship and moving through Oakland communities most adversely affected by gun violence, express dismay at senseless homicides and solidarity with surviving families and friends.
FIAEB’s community organizing is directly responsible for the creation of the Oakland Ceasefire Partnership and its continued public financing. To keep paving the way for safer neighborhoods, in November FIAEB led a successful organizing campaign in support of a local ballot measure to help provide $47 million in annual funding for Ceasefire, the Department of Violence Prevention, and other public safety agencies and nonprofits in Oakland for nine years.
“Nobody wanted to do anything, talk to, or offer services before — they’d just throw them in jail. That’s how we ended up with mass incarceration,” said Rev. Damita DavisHoward, Oakland Police Department Director of Ceasefire. “If you talk to them, you can try to change the trajectory of their life.”
INCREASING COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT
Following the tragic and unconscionable shooting death of 19-year-old Emmanuel Perez Becerra by Sunnyvale police in his mobile home park, PICO California affiliate People Acting in Community Together held a series of community dialogues at local faith institutions on deescalation training, special needs awareness, and greater community oversight of local law enforcement. PACT has played a key role in the formation of the statewide Peace Officer Standards Accountability Advisory Board since its inception in 2021.
HEALING COMMUNITIES
PICO California affiliate LA Voice held a restorative justice summit in support of legislation to prohibit communications made during a restorative justice process from being used in a criminal proceeding. We know that healed communities are safe communities. Together we can prioritize resources for survivors of crime and for those seeking rehabilitation. This is what smart justice solutions are all about.
“We all want to live in a family, community, and in a state where safety, justice, and wholeness are all on offer at the same time. Where goodness and heeling are available to survivors of crime as well as to those who have done wrong. And where all of our safety and dignity is guarded.”
-REV. ZACH HOOVER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LA VOICE
PROMOTING FAIRNESS IN EDUCATION
Local PICO affiliates True North Organizing Network and Inland Congregations United for Change sent a demand letter with Public Advocates, pro bono counsel Goodwin Procter LLC, and impacted students, families, and residents to the California governor and various state officials and agencies, urging them to end grossly unequal and unconstitutional disparities in the state’s school facility funding program.
California’s system of funding school facility modernization projects through local and state bonds is based on district
wealth. Not only do low-wealth school districts have less access to local bond revenue compared to their wealthier neighbors, but they also have less access to state modernization bonds as a result.
The complainants of their demand letter called on state leadership to take immediate action to remedy this unconstitutional school facility funding system and significantly modify the state’s modernization program. True North and ICUC will continue this fight in 2025.
STANDING STRONG WITH IMMIGRANTS
In November, PICO local affiliate Sacramento ACT Executive Director Gabby Trejo and volunteer leader Fernando Cibrian were highlighted in the San Francisco Chronicle for leading efforts to protect and promote immigrant communities. Sacramento ACT was a key piece of the local response when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis arranged to have 36 asylum seekers transported from Texas to California’s capital last year. The Sacramento ACT community is still showing up for migrants even as government support wanes.
“We don’t lose faith. We come from the faith community,” said Gabby
Trejo, Executive Director of Sacramento ACT.
“We’re not going to be in the desert, stranded and lost for 40 years. We’re going to continue to fight.”
FAITH VOTES
(A PROJECT OF THE PICO CALIFORNIA ACTION FUND)
Driven by commitment to justice and equity, PICO California is uniting communities to build a Moral Economy where everyone thrives.
Through the power of faith and collective action, we came together to engage and educate 81,053 devout and diverse voters across California about ballot measures impacting housing and restorative justice—reaching into every county, assembly, and senate district.
Together with our partners in the Million Voters Project, we knocked on doors, made calls, held nonpartisan candidate forums, and hosted nonpartisan voter education parties across 20 counties. Our efforts were not just about votes; they were about fostering community, building bridges, and nurturing the shared threads of our faiths. With each step, we were answering a sacred call—the duty of voting as an act of love, justice, and commitment to our shared future.
Our efforts yielded two big successes. In Los Angeles, LA Voice’s organizing led to the passing of Measure A, which will ensure more than 50,000 veterans, domestic violence survivors, and people with mental health concerns can keep their housing and care and don’t return to homelessness. In San Francisco, PICO California affiliate Faith in Action Bay Area worked with Spanishspeaking and Chinese-speaking immigrant elders to place and pass a ballot measure creating a fund to help those on extremely low incomes by requiring the city to contribute $8.25 million of its general fund annually towards loans to developers for projects that benefit lower-income residents who earn no more than 35% of the area median income.
The relational power we have built is a testament to what we can achieve when we move together. As the African Proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” We will carry this momentum into 2025 and beyond, knowing that our work transcends any single election or candidate.
DIEGO
Gloria Morales (PICO California Board member and San Diego Organizing Project leader) took new American citizens and first time voters to the polls. Gloria was brought to tears that, despite the heavy burdens they carry, the peril in the future they face, the long lines at their polling station — they are “waiting, with hope in their eyes.”

Strengthening the PICO Network
SCHOOL OF FAITH AND POWER
Grassroots leaders are the heart of PICO California’s mission.
They bring the wisdom of lived experience, the strength of community connections, and the courage to confront injustice. Their leadership drives our movement, transforming faith into action and creating lasting change across California.
Through the creation of a core constituency of 16,155 faith and spiritually-centered volunteer leaders, we made significant strides in organizing for racial and economic justice across the state. These leaders organized 220,311 residents to take public action by:
• Inviting their communities into civic action
• Joining and leading organizing teams at their local faith institutions
• Educating and building relationships with elected officials
• Canvassing and building relationships with voters
• Leading public actions to improve the quality of life for vulnerable Californians
We have spent considerable effort to gather and analyze data on leadership development across a continuum of involvement to more rigorously analyze the growth and quality of our leadership base and evaluate our leadership training. PICO California’s data team worked closely with leaders at each of our local affiliates to conduct a political landscape analysis, which includes determining the strength of each affiliate’s organizing base - institutions, teams, leaders, and past voter engagement efforts. That data was then overlaid with geographic and political information to determine where we currently are building power and where we need to build in the future.
INAUGURATING OUR STATE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
With a diverse team of 400 key leaders, clergy, and tribal elders from 20 counties across our state network, PICO California moved in unison towards a shared prophetic vision for a Moral Economy for all of California through an inspiring Leadership Assembly.
In order to ensure that the PICO California network is fully representative of the diversity of the state and all its
faith traditions, races, and geographies, we launched our State Leadership Council (SLC). The SLC is composed of grassroots leaders, clergy, organizers, and executive directors of all of our nine local affiliates. At our launch, we heard inspiring words from Dr. Bob Ross, CEO of the California Endowment, Michael Tubbs, Special Advisor for Economic Mobility and Opportunity to Governor Newsom, and CA Attorney General Rob Bonta as we reflected, prayed, and strategized for 2024 and beyond.
GATHERING IN FAITH AND ACTION: BUILDING A PROPHETIC VISION FOR CALIFORNIA
In June, 160 organizers, clergy, organizational staff, and their families gathered for a week of community, spiritual renewal, and deeply committed learning.
This weeklong space allowed us to sit in our shared prophetic vision of California, strategize on moving local and state power centers, and deepen our relationships with one another and our faiths.
We were blessed to be joined by Civil Rights Leader JoAnne Bland, U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler, and Faith in Action Executive Director Bishop Dwayne Royster, whose lived experience, words of wisdom, and calls to action breathed life into our convening.
As we move through this work of building a Moral Economy for our communities, it is important to remember the giants whose shoulders we stand on and to understand the critical steps we must take to realize our shared prophetic vision.
DEVOUT AND DIVERSE
PICO California has invested in a multiyear, data-driven modeling project that has identified more than five million Californians who are an emerging base of influence – a “Devout and Diverse” and underorganized group who aren’t moved by traditional progressive political approaches, but whose social and political values are moved by faith, religion, or spirituality.
In August, national news outlets AXIOS and Telemundo highlighted how this base of Californians, united by faith and spirit, are primed to lead the charge in building local power by creating systemic change in the areas of housing, restorative justice, and economic dignity.
To achieve the scale needed to contest for power, PICO California and its affiliates engage in deep learning and outreach with Californians across faith, race, geography, and class. We do this work while building a robust network of community leaders who are doing the strategic and organizing work necessary to mobilize their neighbors, families, and friends.
During a featured discussion with AXIOS Senior Race and Politics Reporter Russell Contreras, leaders and organizers from local PICO California affiliate Faith in the Valley discussed the work of organizing and shifting the narrative around how people create power in their communities. PICO California helps them feel agency and power in a system that too often excludes them.
“We’ve been excluded for too long, and now we have a voice.”
- GUILLERMINA MIRELES, FAITH IN THE VALLEY LEADER
SPIRITUAL HOME INITIATIVE
The Spiritual Home Initiative is a new effort to connect more deeply to the sacred dimensions of our work, bringing Californians of faith together at greater scale and propel them to action.
With Spiritual Home, we seek to reach ”scale and soul” in order to build a spiritually- and morally-rooted social justice movement across our state.
As our first public offerings, we launched Practice Circles as a consistent and contemplative space to connect with your inner self and ground for interpersonal transformation.
The pilot six-week cycle focuses on a distinct set of teachings each week, including relational, creation, ritual, stillness, generative, and movement practices. The Practice Circles are facilitated by Reverend Dr. Joy Johnson in partnership with experienced practitioners from PICO’s diverse faith and spiritual traditions.
Over 500 people participated in two virtual sessions in the middle of the hectic election season. The sessionsCultivating Radical Hope in Uncertain Times and Together in Steady Loving Confrontation - provided a sacred space to reconnect with purpose, offering clarity and love to navigate the intensity surrounding the election.
HELPING BUILD CALIFORNIA’S ORGANIZING ECOSYSTEM
This year we strengthened California’s overall power building ecosystem by heavily investing into the development of people, organizations, and systems that center those closest to the pain in our communities.
PICO helped lead the development of the Movement Innovation Collaborative (MIC), an organizer-led effort to amplify and accelerate the field of power building. Our vision is to strengthen and scale our vibrant power building ecosystem that honors the collective imagining of each of our past and present movements towards a future deeply rooted in racial justice. MIC is the strategic thinking, planning, and work of over 500 community members and organizers, transforming an idea into a living entity to create the change our communities need and deserve. This work is seeded by The California Endowment’s historic Social Bond, offering us a generous foundation to
bring our collective vision to life. PICO California is also a grantee of the MIC project participating in its Narrative Innovation experiment as part of our network’s growing narrative and communications work.
PICO California is also on the steering committee of PIVOT, a collaborative of dozens of funders and practitioners in dialogue about key challenges and opportunities to advance power building in California. In the first round of grantmaking from PIVOT’s Power Building Pooled Fund, we helped award more than $7 million in multiyear grants to 14 organizations, coalitions and networks reaching more than 70 organizations around the state (including PICO California, which was included in the first round of grantmaking). These organizations are leading breakthrough strategies to empower communities that have long been denied a voice in elections and government.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
We stand at a watershed moment in the future of our democracy. In the coming years, many of our most vulnerable communitiesimmigrants and low income people of color in particular - will face the full force of policies rooted in hate, meant to dehumanize, and sowed by division.
There will be attempts to rollback, block, and undermine our progress. California is a critical battleground for protecting our civil and human rights, and can serve as a model of how we use this moment as an opportunity to build the base of power to advance key solutions.
The election results of 2024 can feel heavy and ominous. It feels like hearts and minds across our state and country are being led by fear and division, and what many of us did after 2016 no longer feels adequate for this moment. Yet to choose to organize is to believe in the promise, potential, and power of people, and never has hope-fueled action been more necessary.
PICO California sits at the leading edge of the kind of relational, narrative-driven, community organizing that has the potential to be a powerful antidote to what we collectively face. Where resistance was the dominant strategy eight years ago, it’s a revolution – of values, of public structures and systems, and of human hearts –that’s necessary now.
Our strategies are in service of building a stronger democracy. We are building multi-racial organizations
led by volunteers who are typically sidelined, with a deep commitment to shared priorities and actions. We work on issues that have to do with exclusion and inequality, which destabilize democracies, and we are building partnerships with unlikely allies and bringing people together who would otherwise be polarized against each other.
In the weeks following the election, we engaged the California power building ecosystem in discussions about post-election threats and opportunities. Through this ecosystem, we are creating a new united front that champions policies that protect families, create economic inclusion, advance racial equity, and serve as a counterweight to any federal or state actions that are antithetical to these values.
PICO California’s vision is rooted in faith, justice, and the unwavering belief that a better future is possible. Together, we can create a California where every family is safe, every voice is heard, and every person has the opportunity to not just survive, but thrive. Your support fuels this mission, empowering diverse faith communities to take bold action, protect the vulnerable, and transform systems of inequity into pathways of opportunity.
This work is not easy, but it is essential. By standing together, we can build the Beloved Community—a place where dignity, compassion, and justice are at the center of public life. Join us in this movement. Together, we can create a legacy of hope, strength, and change that will echo for generations.
Our Supporters
Thanks to the incredible generosity of individuals, foundations, and nonprofit partners, PICO California has been able to build power in communities, amplify voices, and drive meaningful change across the state. Together, we are building a more just and equitable California.
