Something Bigger
Across Salinas, neighbors are coming together to protect the community we love. There is a place for you in this movement.
Join the Movement →Why People Like You Are Stepping Up
Something is happening in Salinas. Neighbors who never thought of themselves as activists are finding their voice. Here is what is bringing them in.
Maybe your landlord raised rent and you wondered where families go when they can't keep up. Maybe you noticed your kid's classmate moved away mid-year. These moments add up. You start to realize this isn't just someone else's problem.
Caring about affordable housing is one thing. Actually doing something about it feels different. Volunteers say the same thing: "I just wanted to help." That instinct is enough. We will give you the tools and the team.
Salinas was the first rural, majority-Latino city in Monterey County to pass tenant protections. What happens here sends a message everywhere. You are not just helping your neighbors. You are helping set the standard.
"I didn't think of myself as an activist. I'm just a mom who wanted her kids to grow up in the same neighborhood they started in. Turns out, a lot of people feel the same way."
This Is Who We Are
Educators who watch students disappear mid-year because their families were priced out. They know stability at home means success in the classroom.
The people who feed America deserve to live in the communities they sustain. Many have called Salinas home for generations.
People building a future for their kids right here. They want their children to grow up with roots, not wondering where they will move next.
Not every supporter is a renter. Many homeowners know that a healthy community needs stable neighborhoods for everyone, not just those who already own.
