Social Equity Caucus

The Social Equity Caucus (SEC) is a coalition of more than 75 organizations and individuals committed to building a regional equity agenda in the San Francisco Bay Area. SEC participants represent economic, social, and environmental justice community-based groups, as well as, labor, faith, and youth organizations. Our diverse coalition brings a wealth of ideas, energy, talent, and leadership to the region. By connecting our local issues and priorities to a broader regional equity agenda, we work in strategic partnerships to build power within the Bay Area’s low-income communities and communities of color.  The Social Equity Caucus meets quarterly.  For the most recent issue of the quarterly newsletter of the SEC or for information on upcoming meetings, visit the what's new page.

What We Do

The SEC convenes regular meetings, shares resources and technical assistance among member organizations, provides support for local struggles, and implements joint policy and advocacy agendas to promote regional equity. 

The SEC grew out of the Bay Area Alliance for Sustainable Communities, and serves several roles in the region:

• Voice for regional equity to ensure that the priorities of low-income communities and communities of color are addressed by decision-makers
• Convener and Connector of individuals and organizations across the 9 Bay Area Counties to share local strategies and expertise, decrease isolation and competition among low-income communities and communities of color, strengthen strategic partnerships, and build our collective power
• Campaign Support for local and regional efforts whereby SEC participants lend their support to each other’s local campaigns as well as join together to achieve more far-reaching victories at the regional, state, or national level
• Resource for members to share and receive technical assistance and coordinate ongoing research, funding opportunities, and education.
• Policy and Advocacy campaigns to advance equitable policies and hold our public institutions and elected officials accountable to the region’s most impacted communities

Join Us!
One of the Social Equity Caucus' ongoing priorities is to deepen and expand our membership base throughout the nine Bay Area counties, strengthening the momentum towards regional justice and equity.
