North Bay Organizing Project

On Sunday, October 23, from 3pm-5pm., the North Bay Organizing Project will hold it’s first-ever Public Meeting at the Santa Rosa High School Auditorium. At this meeting, more than 700 people will come together to demonstrate their collective power, celebrate accomplishments, and continue to advance action in current campaigns on issues including the local law enforcement accepting Mexican Government issued Matricular IDs and the prioritization by city and county officials and other stakeholders supporting the building of the “Community Connector” Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge over Hwy 101. 


These specific issues were targeted at NBOP’s issues assembly in February and advanced by the Immigration Task Force and the Transit Equity/Neighborhood Development Task Force. Public officials responsible for each of these issues that impact the people of Sonoma County will attend and respond to our specific strategies that will address each of these issues.
