Pico California Project is a multi-racial, multi-faith organization based in Sacramento, California. With 16 employees, they have been serving the state for over 30 years. Pico California Project operates as a network of ten local affiliates representing 500 congregations and nearly 650,000 Californians across 18 counties. Their work focuses on community organizing and policy advocacy, empowering faith-based and spiritually-centered people to drive systemic change for vulnerable communities. They aim to create a California where all residents thrive by addressing issues such as healthcare, education, restorative justice, safe neighborhoods, affordable housing, and support for aspiring citizens. A core aspect of Pico California Project's approach is investing in the formation of its members. They provide education on power structures, individual empowerment, and collective action to create positive change in communities. They also believe in reclaiming faith's place in the public sphere, emphasizing love, justice, dignity, and the worth of every individual as core tenets of faith.
