Berkeley Organizing Congregations for Action (BOCA)

Berkeley Organizing Congregations for Action (BOCA) is a non-profit, faith based community organization comprised of 18 member congregations representing over 10,000 Berkeley families. We are ordinary people learning to become "leaders" in our community by putting our faith into action. We are a multi-ethnic, cross-cultural, inter-religious, and inter-racial organization in order to deepen relationship and empower people in the faith community to create positive change. Trained BOCA leaders work with public officials to uphold justice, equality, and dignity for every member of our community. BOCA is a member of PICO National Network, a network of faith based organizations that represents over one million families in 150 cities within 16 states, and of PICO California, a unified effort of 17 organizations the represent over 350 congregations and 400,000 families.
