Founded in 1985, People Acting in Community Together (PACT) is a multi-faith, grassroots organization that 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. PACT’s mission is to empower everyday people to create a more just community. PACT was founded in 1985 and now represents 17,000+ people through 22 member congregations and partner schools and community groups. PACT is a grassroots, multi-racial, multi-faith organization that engages people from all walks of life in our proven model of community organizing to tackle pervasive social problems such as lack of affordable housing; racial and economic achievement gap in schools; the broken immigration system; racial profiling and distrust of law enforcement; and more. By providing underrepresented people with the essential tools and organization to impact decision-makers, PACT promotes effective democratic participation, inspiring hope, creating change, and transforming our community.
