We use organizing, direct action, policy research and analysis, leadership development, popular education, and coalition building to confront the issues that affect the lives of our membership.

PUEBLO's Board and Staff
PUEBLO attends Racially Biased Policing Training 
PUEBLO was invited by the Oakland :Police Department to participate in a two day training on Racially Biased Policing. This session was co-sponsored by the Oakland and Berkeley Police Departments and the top command staff of each Department attend. It was considered important to have community stakeholders present, as well as police officers. In addition to PUEBLO, the Berkeley Chapters of the ACLU and the NAACP also attended the training.
The instructor was Dr. Lorie Fridell, the former Director of Research at the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a national expert on racial profiling, or what she terms 'racially biased policing.'
