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:
Lead by Example
Promote peaceful resolution of disputes and differences through constructive engagement within your networks and across communities.
Share Accurate Information
Share and create proactive messaging that promotes accurate information and builds trust in our institutions and elections.
Take Action
Help prevent intimidation and violence through dialogue, constructive communication, and coordinated action.
