For the past 20 years, PowerPAC has been committed to building political power within communities of color and supporting progressive candidates of color long before they became household names.

PowerPAC believes that the most effective way to build political power for historically underrepresented constituencies is to invest in long-term political infrastructure that can be mobilized for short-term and long-term victories.

Our process includes conducting research and analysis on the political landscape, and identifying critical social justice issues to bring more voters–particularly voters of color–into the political process. From there, PowerPAC directs financial and human resources to strategic local and state legislative fights, ballot initiatives, and other campaigns by organizing donors who are committed to social justice politics.

We believe that we will only have a true democracy when the electorate is engaged and representative of the population.
