The People Over Billionaires campaign is ACCE's response to the growing authoritarian agenda bankrolled by tech oligarchs and billionaires who are gutting the safety net to fund mass kidnappings and using division and fear to protect their own profits. Our strategy is simple: expose the billionaire class, disrupt their business as usual, and fight for a different vision — one where the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share so we can have affordable housing, good schools, and a dignified future for all. We take the fight directly to the people responsible — targeting Palantir's ICE surveillance contracts, marching through billionaire row in San Francisco and LA, and joining national boycotts of corporations complicit in the authoritarian agenda, including Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. We're building a growing coalition across California that connects the dots between ICE raids, rising rents, and Medicaid cuts — because it's all the same billionaire class pulling the strings. And we're in it for the long haul.
Born out of our years fighting Wall Street's agenda to foreclose on millions of families across California, ACCE Action is deeply committed to building a California where everyone has access to a safe and affordable place to live. This means working to PROTECT tenants and homeowners fighting to stay housed, PRESERVE existing affordable housing, and PRODUCE more housing that is affordable for people with very low incomes and the unemployed.
All across the state, ACCE Action organizes tenants facing unreasonable rent increases, unjust evictions, and landlord harassment. We fight to win structural changes like rent control, just cause eviction protections, and increased affordable housing supply. Our members are deeply involved in the Community Land Trust movement, working to move rental housing from the speculative market into community control.
ACCE has boldly stepped into the fight for climate justice, and we're already winning big victories for working-class communities of color in the transition to clean energy. Through our Richmond Healthy Homes Campaign, we're pioneering one of the nation's first neighborhood-scale clean energy projects targeting low-income communities, while our Make Polluters Pay campaign secured historic corporate accountability from Chevron to address decades of environmental harm to Richmond residents. ACCE members from across the state are also organizing for lower utility rates. PG&E, So Cal Edison, and SDG&E have made record profits, while charging rate payers amongst the highest utility rates in the country. Lastly, through our California Common Good coalition, ACCE is also taking on the fossil fuel industry at a systemic level by pushing California's massive public pension funds to advance climate-resilient solutions. By organizing at the intersection of economic and environmental justice, we're working to ensure that California's transition to clean energy benefits working families, not corporate profits.
Key to ACCE Action's power-building theory of change is the development of community members into powerful leaders and savvy organizers. We believe in equipping members with the tools they need to understand the world around them, share their stories, and fight to win systems that will affirm and support them. Through trainings held online and in-person throughout the year — covering everything from collective visioning and power analysis to organizing skills and spokesperson development — we build the capacity needed to run and win local and statewide campaigns. Our goal is simple: grow our base, deepen participation, and develop the member leaders who will sustain this movement for the long haul.
Wall Street, oil companies, landlord associations, and giant corporations spend billions every election cycle to buy political power — using their influence to gut consumer protections, hand out corporate subsidies, and exploit tax loopholes. But when communities are organized, we can defeat their attacks and elect progressive champions who actually fight for working people. ACCE Action's voter outreach teams engage directly with community members on the issues, cutting through corporate spin and building real political power. Over the past decade, we've won victories up and down the ballot — from local races and school boards to statewide measures — and as core partners in both the California Working Families Party and the Million Voters Project, we're helping build the multiracial working class majority that California needs.
California's housing crisis continues to deepen, and in response ACCE Action's Housing Justice League has built powerful infrastructure for large-scale tenant organizing across the state. Through social media, radio ads, mass texting, and community outreach, we connect struggling tenants with Defend Your Home workshops, legal support, and organizing training. The Housing Justice League is working to strengthen tenant protections and secure more affordable housing across California. Join us! You can join the Housing Justice League here.
