The Organization

PICO California is the statewide collaborative effort of the PICO National Network of faith-based community organizations, representing 485 congregations and 500,000 families across the state. Through our member organizations, PICO California unites people of diverse economic, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds around a vision of racial and economic justice. Since 1994, PICO California has been at the forefront of organizing working families to improve schools, increase access to health care, end mass incarceration, win a pathway to citizenship, and improve the quality of life for our families and our communities. PICO California is one of the largest community-organizing networks in the state.  We are seeking individuals to join our growing staff team who are committed to a transformative racial justice movement (that demands reflection, introspection and truth telling) in order to actively dismantle racist structures in our society.
