As people of faith and spirit, we know our place is in solidarity with our immigrant communities. As part of our commitment to swift and dedicated action, we have established a fund to provide short-term resources to families if, for example, the breadwinner gets arrested by ICE or even deported. The fund will support with things like food and clothing while families try to get back on their feet. Please consider donating.

Featured Leader
Silvia Guzman: Learning to See Our Own Power
Silvia Guzman is frequently seen at Faith in Action East Bay events (both in person and virtual) serving as an interpreter. The organization’s commitment to language equity means that monolingual English and Spanish speakers will always have interpretation support.
Who We Are
We are a nonpartisan federation of more than 23 congregations, schools, and allied community organizations, representing over 25,000 families throughout the East Bay. Faith in Action East Bay Leaders share common values from our diverse faith, racial, political, and social traditions. We bring these values into the public arena through research, action and relationship-building.
What we do
We develop leaders who build power through their congregations and schools to drive systemic change and improve the quality of life for their families. We envision a community where all have equal access to: a first-rate education, affordable housing and home ownership, skills training and good employment opportunities, quality healthcare, and safe, clean streets in vibrant neighborhoods.
WORKING TOGETHER
We are engaged in violence reduction, community building through Belong Circles, immigrant rights, education equity, illegal dumping, housing, vaccine access, justice system reform, and voter turnout. We are fostering a narrative change by amplifying the unheard voices in our communities and facilitating their empowerment.
In this video presented at Rise Up for Justice 2024 (December 7), we celebrated our former directors: Fr. John Bauman, Scott Reed, Ron Snyder, Jim Keddy, Amy Fitzgerald, and Rev. Dr. George Cummings.

Support Faith-Based Organizing
We organize in faith communities. At each one, we cultivate at least 10 committed participants to show leadership. A group of power-building leaders at a house of worship is called an LOC — Local Organizing Committee. And they are the key to building power and changing systems so that everyone has equity in housing, jobs, education, access to health care, and vibrant, safe communities where all are welcome.
