PACI is the most important tool for developing political effectiveness and community building that has emerged in several decades. It will allow Polish Americans to communicate with elected officials and the general public knowledgeably and on an almost instantaneous basis. It will also help to establish a strong base of advocates who can be mobilized rapidly on an issue. The PACI advisory committee will draw on political leaders from around the nation.
What is PACI?
The Polish American Communication Initiative is a national communications and alert system devised by the Piast Institute with the following features:
- An objective non-partisan website which will regularly transmit significant or breaking news, analysis, data and legislative updates on important Polish and Polish American issues
- A means for recipients to respond on the spot to issues by sending personal messages to members of Congress and the Senate and a vehicle for sending letters to national, regional, and local newspapers
- Data and analysis on key issues assisted by the Congressional Quarterly
- A forum for national dialogue on matters of community concern
- The identification and definition of issues of concern to the Polish community
To succeed we need people to join the PACI network, and to support the project through participation and donations, however small. This engagement and support will give Polonia a new dynamic national presence and help tell our story more effectively to opinion makers as well as our fellow Americans and to let them know what our interests and needs are. Piast President Dr. Thaddeus Radzilowski invites Polish Americans to participate in this unique effort.
