Political ACtion Committee (Chairperson: Gloria Kirby-Green)
Mission Statement (Purpose): The mission of the Political Awareness Committee (PAC) is to encourage persons to become more aware of issues in the various local, state and federal elections, and to monitor the promises of candidates by hosting candidate forums. The PAC encourages citizens to register and vote, and become an active part of the process.
We strive to ‘Get Out the Vote’ (GOTV), set up displays during elections for the congregants and constituents to be informed, assist with transportation to the polls and voter registration in the community and neighborhoods around us, to include Change of Address forms if needed. The PAC goes door-to-door to members of our community with ‘door hangers’ and we fulfill absentee ballot requests.
The PAC is campaigning to stop the photo identification requirements as it unjustly effects the disenfranchised. We will provide sample ballots to the congregants and constituents and provide lists of and printed materials from the candidates of all parties (Democratic and Republican).
