Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP!)

POP! – Pasadenans Organizing for Progress is a multi-issue community organization whose mission is to make Pasadena a more just, fair, and inclusive city.  http://poppasadena.org/

Founded in 2016, POP! was formed by community activists who led the movement in the city of Pasadena to pass the $15/hour minimum wage ordinance. After achieving success in this campaign, the activists decided to expand their work for social justice change throughout Pasadena, focusing on a variety of priority issues, with a few major campaigns identified to-date.

POP’s! Priority Issues:

• Worker rights (including minimum wage enforcement and wage theft reporting)
• Immigrant rights and protections
• Affordable housing and tenant rights
• Police practices
• Public education reform
