Hide Profile

The Pacific Institute for Community Organization (PICO), of Oakland, California, is dedicated to organizing local communities--usually low-income--for social action. Founded by Jerry Helfrich, S.J., and John Baumann, S.J., PICO carries on the tradition of community organizing developed by Saul Alinsky, the person most responsible in the United States for this type of social activism. William F. (Bill) Masterson has been closely involved with PICO since 1980, serving as its director of strategic planning from 1992 through 2002. He was trained in the tactics of community organizing by Baumann and by Thomas Gaudette, one of the foremost organizers of the field personally influenced by Alinsky.
