**Read to the bottom for a special opportunity to volunteer with Cheri Beasley's campaign for Senate!**

Friend --

On Sunday afternoon, April 3, members of the People’s Alliance PAC met to debate and decide which candidates running in 2022 would get the group’s endorsement. Over 350 members attended the meeting, held on Zoom. Following hours of debate and voting, members chose to endorse candidates up and down the ballot, from US Senate to Durham school board.  

Endorsement decisions are made by the PAC membership at a meeting in advance of elections every year. At the meeting, PAC committees who have studied the candidates make recommendations, but ultimately the endorsement is decided by a vote of the members after rigorous debate.

The PAC’s support of its candidates only begins with the endorsement.  PA PAC campaigns for its candidates with organizing, events, mailings, social media and poll work. This work takes money and time. PA PAC encourages you to donate money and to volunteer time in support of your PA PAC's slate of candidates.
