This cohort provides participants with the building blocks needed to build power and create change by acting together in the public sphere. In addition to providing practical tools and leadership training, we will create a sense of community, where we can engage diversity of thought and experience across race, gender, sexuality, country of origin, and religious or spiritual beliefs.

PACT leaders are thinking outside of the box, holding international research meetings, and bringing our faith to the streets through press conference and prayer vigils and our community actions. Our demands PACT leaders have determined that now is the time to pass state and local initiatives that provide: 1. Protections for renters 2. Allow access to affordable housing particularly the most vulnerable. 3. Find new pathways to homeownership and 4. Provide a guaranteed basic income. We started the year by sending a PACT group to Sacramento to join with our statewide federation to meet with legislators to pass SB 567, there were over 700 people. We are proud that SB 567 has passed We held research meetings, as well press conference and prayer vigils here at La Primera 75922 Immigration: PACT has provided leadership in support of the immigrant community: We began our immigration work in 2008 through the Catholic Justice for Immigrants Campaign training Catholic leaders to talk to fellow parishioners about the impact of immigration. Since, then we worked to get the city of San Jose to be a welcoming city to immigrants. We developed PACTs solidarity network with over 70 congregations committed to provide support for immigrants in Santa Clara County. This included some churches forming accompaniment teams, to provide spiritual and referrals for families who had someone deported. In 2021, our immigrant leaders came together to support a bill that would change the registry date to allow more immigrants to qualify for citizenship. We ended last year with a social justice resource fair and brought together legal providers to give legal service and basic needs services to immigrants. We are hearing from immigrants, the need to access legal services but it is difficult to pay for these services.
