Our training program supported hundreds of residents to increase their confidence, leadership skills, and understanding of systemic inequities. Our strategic organizing engaged thousands of families to take collective action towards community priorities.

The bill was signed into law but our efforts for the revenue mechanism to be a gross receipt tax instead of a sales tax was not successful. As part of our housing justice work, we published a report on the dire circumstances of farmworker housing along the San Mateo County coast based on interviews with 22 farmworkers.
