PUEBLO has won reforms in the areas of public health\, education\, living wage\, environmental justice\, youth development\, and public safety. An Oakland resident\, Isaac Taggart Sr. has over 15 years experience in assisting individuals transitioning from welfare to work and parole-probation to payroll. He spent 3 years working as a Reentry Specialist for Mayor Ronald Dellums and played a key role in developing the policy\, “Ban the Box\,” which eliminates the question about past convictions on applications for employment and housing in the Alameda County.
