The Pilipino Action Center (PAC) is a 501(c)4 that is committed to increasing Pilipino representation and putting in office those who show a commitment to serving and enriching the Pilipino community. We are a coalition of Pilipino domestic workers/caregivers and allies who believe in building power through numbers, voice and education.
C4s can engage in unlimited advocacy and lobbying and can endorse issues, policy positions, and candidates, as long as these activities are consistent with the c4’s social welfare mission. It’s a legal way basically for us to get involved in the political process.
PAC helps organize, mobilize and educate the Pilipino voters base in the Southern California region.
PAC is a member based organization made up of primarily female identifying care givers. PAC is a pro-worker and pro-immigrant organization. With that, we support and endorse candidates who support our community, regardless of gender, race or status. We aim to educate ourselves and our members on all active issues facing our community. Lastly, we aim to mobilize a collective Pilipino Worker force for political action. We are stronger in numbers!
Check out our events page to stay tuned with what we are currently doing.
The only way we can be heard as a Pilipino worker community is with involvement! We can make our voices heard as a collective, regardless of immigration status. The larger the collective, the more politicians listen.
We can participate in the electoral process by endorsing like minded candidates, canvassing and educating the community.
We show strength and power through our numbers. The more people join our organization, the stronger our voice becomes and the louder our concerns are heard by elected officials.

PAC believes in and values coalition power, not power based on status.
No, but this IS the sibling organization of PWC. PAC does share the same values, goals and a lot of the same members!
