About Us

History

PowerCA Action was originally founded in 2011 as Mobilize the Immigrant Vote Action Fund. In 2018, MIV Action Fund became PowerCA Action with the purpose of building a multi-racial, multi-ethnic voting block of young Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other young people of color and their families.

Mission

PowerCA Action advances a progressive agenda for justice and equity for all Californians by engaging, mobilizing and building the leadership of young voters of color and their families. We build the political power of young people of color to pass progressive legislation, elect candidates and hold candidates accountable to governing with an agenda that will transform our communities.

Vision

PowerCA Action envisions a California where power rests with the people, and those with the least economic, socio-cultural and political power have equal say in determining our state’s future. We believe that achieving greater racial and economic equity requires an inclusive democracy in which all California residents have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their families.

Young people are already bravely living out @TheAmandaGorman's call. We will never stop shining our light. We will never stop holding officials accountable and fighting for us all to have an equal say in the decisions that impact our lives. We will rise.

Never forget that CA rep Devin Nunes of Tulare voted against holding Trump accountable for his attempted coup & incitement of extremists to overthrow US govt & described it as a “mistake.” “All presidents make mistakes,” he said on Fox News. #RemoveSeditiousGOP

Never forget CA Rep Tom McClintock compared Trumps attempted coup & incitement of extremists to overthrow US govt as giving a fiery speech. “If we impeached every politician that gave a fiery speech...this would be an empty building.” #RemoveThemAll https://amp.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article248474340.html

A sitting president just attempted a coup. It's not political theater or spectacle or divisive to remove him & hold him accountable. #TrumpCoupAttempt #RemoveTrump #RemoveOrResign
