PACT helps
everyday people win extraordinary victories by teaching them
how to speak, act, and engage in the public arena for themselves
through grassroots organization.
Founded in 1985, People Acting in Community
Together is an inter-faith, grassroots organization that empowers
everyday people to create a more just community.
PACT provides leadership training and experience
to community members of many different ethnic, religious,
and socio-economic backgrounds. Through PACT, people work
together to solve the most pervasive social problems of our
day, including:
| • |
Failing public schools, |
| • |
Housing that is too expensive for thousands of working
families, |
| • |
Lack of affordable health care, |
| • |
And, unsafe neighborhoods and poor services. |
PACT is an affiliate of the PICO
National Network, one of the largest grassroots community
organizations in the United States, representing more than
one thousand religious congregations, schools, and neighborhood
institutions and one million families in 150 cities and towns.
PACT also works with its 20 sister organizations in the PICO
California on common statewide issues to improve housing,
education, and health care for all people. |
