With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we awarded 100 grants totaling $1 million to organizations focused on mutual aid for populations that were excluded from the federal stimulus relief efforts, such as undocumented immigrants, formerly incarcerated people, and domestic workers.

In partnership with the Advocacy Institute, we are working to address the capacity needs of organizations interested in launching local and statewide advocacy campaigns.

Since 2015, we have hosted learning tours in three regions of the state that brought together community leaders, policymakers, and funders for cross-regional dialogues that identified common cause and built relationships among a diverse set of actors.

We have hosted donor briefings on topics requested by our members, such as the Highway to Boulevard campaign to encourage reuse of decommissioned highways for public needs such as affordable housing and the issue of wage theft to facilitate issue coherence and unlock flexible and coordinated support for worker-led organizing.
