The North Bay Organizing Project
The North Bay Organizing Project (NBOP) is a grassroots, multi-racial, and multi-issue organization comprised of over twenty-two faith, environmental, labor, student and community-based organizations in Sonoma County. NBOP seeks to build a regional power organization rooted in working class and minority communities in the North Bay: Uniting people to build leadership and grassroots power for social, economic, racial and environmental justice. We have had great success in developing leaders and winning policies to minimize deportations, reduce suspensions, expulsions from our local schools, provide free public transportation for students, gain greater rights for tenants and defend our communities. We believe that participation of our members is essential for the survival of democracy.
The Farmers Guild and Community Alliance with Family Farmers
We are farmers, ranchers, and sustainable food system advocates. With a passion for feeding our local communities, we unite to share skills, knowledge and forge a collective voice for sustainable agriculture. Founded by farmers for farmers, we support healthy food production by collectively striving toward the economic viability of farms as well as the social networks to attract, cultivate and sustain a new generation ready to work the land. Our mission is to build sustainable food and farming systems through policy advocacy and on-the-ground programs that create more resilient family farms, communities and ecosystems.
The Arlene Francis Center for Spirit, Art, and Politics
The Arlene Francis Center is a non-profit, community-centered cultural hub that provides a place to co-produce visions of a better world and co-create new ways of being. Situated in Santa Rosa’s historic Railroad Square and West End Districts, the Center produces nonprofit and charitable cultural, educational, social, ethical and ecological activities united by a common purpose—the development of a theory and practice that will foster the creation of a better world, one in which human beings will come to see one another as the source of each other’s completion, as inherently good and caring social and ecological beings who seek to fully recognize each other’s common humanity and interconnectedness with all of life, and to create a world based upon justice, kindness, love, and respect.

The Sebastopol Grange is a community organization that took root in Sebastopol in 1898. Rising from the fields and farmlands, we gathered on common ground to heal and support each other, work together, and sustain local farms and a locally resilient economy and community. For more than 100 years, we’ve preserved our founding principles of unity, liberty and charity here in Sebastopol. The Grange supports and advocates for healthy communities, family farms, local economies, cultural diversity, public schools and education, the arts, and a variety of charitable causes.
