Join fellow Pennsylvanians working to strengthen our democratic republic.

The Pennsylvania Alliance for Civic Trust (PACT), an initiative of The Carter Center, brings Pennsylvanians across the political spectrum together to strengthen trust, support peaceful civic engagement, and uphold democratic principles. We can disagree on policy while sharing a commitment to accurate information, peaceful dialogue, and fair elections.

Together we keep democracy strong.

Free, fair, and secure elections are the cornerstone of America's democratic republic. A peaceful, democratic republic ensures the protection of individual rights, upholds the rule of law, and promotes stability.

How It Works

As polarization increases, so does the risk of political and identity-based violence. PACT brings Pennsylvanians together who share a common concern for the future of our state and the mutual desire to build a healthier democratic republic for all – regardless of political beliefs. PACT participants help advance this work in three ways:
