Miami PACT
People Acting for Community TogetherPACT uses the power of large, organized people to hold public officials accountable to create systemic change in Miami-Dade County. PACT is a ‘direct action’ organization, it hosts large community assemblies where public officials are encouraged to adopt solutions to serious problems.
PACT identifies issues through an extensive ‘Listening Process’ reaching more than 1,500 members. After the listening process, PACT members vote on 2-3 problem areas to focus on for the year. Once PACT members achieve victory on a campaign, leaders put in place a series of checks and measure to ensure that progress is made. Public officials remain accountable even after the original objective has been fulfilled.
At the Nehemiah Action, held each year, PACT ask elected officials to support issues that we care about, and we hold them accountable to our community. At this year’s Nehemiah Action we will focus on Civil Citations and High Rent/Homelessness in Miami Dade County.
