Bring Restorative Justice Leadership Training to Your Parish.
Working with local PICO California affiliates, People and Congregations Together (PACT) and Congregations Building Community (CBC), we are recruiting and training leaders from parishes in communities highly impacted by violence. These groups identify issues around violence reduction efforts, and take specific actions to bring about local, state and national policy changes. We have been able to hold 11 Trainings this past quarter, which includes training 53 leaders and 35 new leaders all of which are low income individuals.

Help us Move Forward
We held a forum in Modesto on April 20, 2017 focused on the need for sanctuary policy with several council members. One council member Tony Madrigal, supported the petition and we are working with the other council members to move forward this priority from the people.
