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 work on violence reduction, immigrant rights, education equity, illegal dumping, housing, justice system reform, and civic engagement. We are fostering a narrative change by amplifying the unheard voices in our communities and facilitating their empowerment.
Faith in Action East Bay’s active leaders are driving change in our communities, from funding for illegal dumping enforcement to stronger protections for immigrant families through education, rapid response, and sanctuary advocacy. In 2025 we added 94 active leaders, growing to 369. This video features three of them. Watch how isolated helplessness is transformed into collective power.
LET’S CONNECT!

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.
