Get Out And Vote was a campaign that PAC organized in 2020. The goal was to be a creative force in getting out the vote locally and to impact efforts nationally. PAC is doing it again and our goal is the same: combining art and action to Get Out And Vote. 

Everyone is welcome and we hope that parents will also join their children for an afternoon of making Get Out And Vote posters. PAC will provide all the materials: poster board, stencils, paint, stamps, paper, photographs. Anything that you need, you name it!
