Current Campaigns

Over the past seventeen years, PUEBLO has remained strongly committed to developing and being driven by the leadership of our members. Members are currently organizing in three areas:

Campaign for Community Safety and Police Accountability

The Campaign for Community Safety and Police Accountability (CCSPA) works to challenge the racism inherent in the city of Oakland’s policing practices and fights to hold officers accountable to the community they serve by documenting and validating incidents of police misconduct and organizing community members to advocate for more responsive and accountable police practices.

Strategic Action for Environmental Health

Strategic Action for Environmental Health (SAFE) organizes to identify and address the major industrial polluters in East Oakland and develop community-based policy through collaboration with the Alameda County Public Health Department. The project framework is a model of community-based education leadership and policy development that aims to improve the environmental health of communities disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards.

Urban Youth Harvest

After a successful demonstration project last summer, PUEBLO is ready to launch an expanded program this year. Working with Cycles of Change this year, Oakland's youth will bike their way to harvest excess produce from Oakland's back yards and provide this delicious and nutritious bounty to Oakland's low income seniors who lack access to healthy produce. Employed through the Mayor's Summer Jobs Program, these young people will not only harvest the fruit but will learn about health and nutrition and the need for a sustainable food system.
