Sacramento ACT

We are a powerful multi-racial, multi-faith organization advocating a transformation of our community rooted in our shared faith values.  Sacramento ACT’s members include over 56 congregations, schools and neighborhood groups, representing 60,000 families in Sacramento County.

Since 1991, Sacramento ACT has been creating real, structural change in Sacramento through community organizing. We draw on our shared faith values as we work to create a more just and equitable community for all.  We lift up voices that are often silenced in our community:  youth, communities of color, immigrants, homeless residents, new voters.

We work to improve education and safety in our community, increase access to healthcare, direct funding away from incarceration and towards eliminating homelessness and supporting human services, and to engage voters to vote their values.

Our Local Organizing Committees (LOC) made up of diverse people from faith communities, schools, and neighborhoods, dive into issues like homelessness, mental health, public safety, education, and immigration. We use that information to plan out strategies and organizing campaigns that tackle the big problems in our area.

We listen to the issues people in our community are dealing with, help bring people together around shared concerns, support them in meeting with decision-makers,  help identify potential solutions to those issues, and bring those solutions to a public forum to invite our elected officials to partner with us in creating change in our community.  This is what community organizing is all about!
