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.

In CA, a safe, affordable home is currently a privilege reserved for those who can afford our high housing costs.

#ACA10 would make adequate housing a constitutional HUMAN RIGHT- legally obligating gvmt to respect, protect, & fulfill that right. Join us!

A safe, affordable home shouldn't just be a privilege for those who can afford California's sky-high housing costs. Housing should be a right guaranteed to every Californian, no matter your employment status or income level.

We must #PassACA10 now!

A profit driven housing market will never build or preserve the permanently affordable housing units we need, leaving CA facing a future where low-wage & minimum-wage workers have nowhere to live, while tent encampments grow and more people are forced to live on the street. 13/20
