Welcome to the website of PUEBLO Action Fund, a local voice for working families.
PUEBLO Action Fund is a 501(c)4 non-profit economic and environmental justice organization dedicated to building the political power and leadership of low-income residents throughout Santa Barbara County.
Santa Barbara County is home to one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, yet there is tremendous poverty throughout our County. Santa Barbara County has the highest rate of uninsured children in the State, and the economy is dominated by low-wage jobs in the service, tourist, and agricultural industries.
The high cost of living is forcing working families to hold multiple jobs, commute long distances for low-wage work, and live in crowded apartments. Many working people are frequently forced to make hard choices between paying the rent, feeding their families, or going to the doctor. When working families are unable to meet their basic needs, our whole community suffers.
PUEBLO Action Fund’s primarily organizes around the following issues: living wage, public transportation, affordable housing, health care, immigrant rights, and child care. PUEBLO Action Fund has neighborhood chapters in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Carpinteria, and Goleta.
In Santa Barbara County, there are strong organizations that represent the interests of employers, property owners, and developers. We believe that working people should also have a voice in the decisions affecting our lives. We believe that by working together to build a strong organization, we can ensure that Santa Barbara County elected officials represent the needs of working families.
We accomplish our goals through organizing house meetings, creating neighborhood committees, mobilizing voters, and building coalitions with organizations on a local, regional, and statewide level.
We welcome you to join the struggle!
