PACT is an inter-faith, grassroots organization that empowers everyday people to create a more just community. We believe that real democracy can only be achieved when everyday people have the skills, organization, and opportunity to advocate for themselves in the public arena. Through PACT, people from different ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds learn to work together to solve the most pervasive social problems of our day, such as: 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 professional staff provides leadership training that teaches people the skills to exercise a powerful voice in the public arena through a broad-based organization. Volunteer leaders learn to have substantive conversations with their neighbors, determine common problems, conduct research on the causes of those problems, negotiate solutions with elected officials, and establish long-term accountability with elected officials.
