Winning Solutions

From the first Minimum Wage laws to the Civil Rights Movement, grassroots community organizing has been a critical part of America's greatest social justice achievements.

Since 1972, PICO has been helping people create innovative, long-lasting solutions to the most pervasive problems facing their communities. PICO begins with the concrete problems facing working families, helps them to conduct a careful research process on these issues, and creates policy innovations from the ground up. These solutions come out of specific places and problems, but offer models for communities and states across the U.S. They are solutions that unify rather than divide.
