PICO CA ardently condemns the actions that led to 16 of our immigrant brothers & sisters being transported across the country under false pretenses. We are grateful to our Sac community SacramentoACT for showing up with radical compassion. sacbee.com/news/local/art…

Today, the Senate Appropriations Committee decides if they want to stop rising homelessness in California by passing #SB567 or continue to allow our families to be pushed out onto the streets. We look forward to #SB567 making it out of appropriations & to a full floor vote!

SB 567 is how we stem the rising tide of homelessness in California! Call Anthony Portantino and Senator Tom Umberg today and tell them to vote YES on #SB567 to protect millions of Californians from unjust evictions.

We’ve tried to meet w Angelique Ashby herself but she has continued to deny us a meeting - despite representing 20+ places of worship throughout HER district. We were speaking with her staff and were given the impression she wasn’t there at all!

Power is built from the ground up, in small circles, by talking & listening to your neighbor. Grateful for @picocalifornia LA Voice for bringing community & faith leaders to the State Capitol to advocate for safe, affordable & inclusive housing for all families in California.

“I should be able to live in the country I fought for!” - San Diego Organizing Project leader Charlie, a retired Marine, shares her story of being faced with eviction. #HomeIsSacred #SB567

“We are here today to engage with our elected leaders who have the courage to act for the people they represent. We make home sacred by turning our faith in action!” -Pastor Joy
