PICO California’s mission is to bring the voices and concerns of regular Californians to the statewide policy arena. PICO California is the statewide collaborative effort of the PICO National Network, a network of faith-based community organizations. PICO California is made up of 22 congregation-based community organizations representing 400 congregations and 450,000 families across the state. Our mission is to develop leadership and encourage civic engagement in congregations throughout California. We develop solutions to issues facing our families and engage congregations in building stronger communities. Through its member organizations in each community, PICO California unites people of diverse economic, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
