The Positive Action Committee (Group)
2024 Programs
We are targeting African American male ages 18 - 35. In rural southern communities this group maintains low voter participation numbers. Due to excessive and negative inter-actions with law enforcement and the local and state court systems, MANY OF THESE YOUNG MEN WILL NEVER REGISTER AND WILL NEVER VOTE.
Mission
The Positive Action Committee is a community led, from the ground - up social justice organization. We specialize in voting rights and public school reform.
