We are Sacramento ACT
At Sacramento ACT, we get that life is complicated, and we know our communities face a lot of challenges. Our Local Organizing Committees (LOC) dive into the mix of issues like homelessness, mental health, public safety, youth, and immigration. We use that information to plan out strategies and campaigns that tackle the big problems in our area. We're like bridge builders, bringing all kinds of folks together to work on solutions. Our strength is making unlikely partnerships happen, because we know that's how we'll really make a difference.
What makes Sacramento ACT different from other organizations is our unique relationships with Congregations in the Sacramento area. Our organization was founded by Congregation members who wanted to create a better community for everyone through Community Organizing. Since its inception our Faith Leaders as a collective have been our moral compass and our shared faith values have guided us along the way. Read more about our moral frame work and congregation based organizing here.
Even if we can't reach every community directly, we're committed to helping our partners understand how organizing can shake things up for the better. We're here to share our organizing know-how and team up with partners to make the changes we're all dreaming of.
Join the Sacramento ACT Community!
There are a few different ways to be a part of our community.
Join as a Sacramento ACT Leader:
At Sacramento ACT we do not provide a service or give out materials. Our non profit focuses on developing people; as a result, we refer to our volunteers as leaders. When a leader joins Sacramento ACT, they will attend personal development trainings that will take them through our organizing cycle. Our hope is that our leaders will gain crucial leadership development skills to help them know how to build and exercise their own power to address the root causes of the problems they face.
