PACT Nehemiah Action 2026

PACT's annual Nehemiah Action Assembly is the culmination of their entire year's work, where they invite influential people and elected officials in Miami-Dade on stage in front of hundreds, even thousands of PACT Network members and ask for their commitment to reasonable solutions and/or policies that accomplish change on the topic that the community has chosen. This is where the idea of People Power really comes into play. Barry, as a member of PACT hopes to fill a bus of students to show up and show support from youth for Affordable Housing. 

Students participating in the PACT Nehemiah Action, who have not yet been involved with PACT, must attend an orientation session prior to the event, where they will learn about community organizing as a catalyst for social change, the difference between social justice and direct service, the mission of PACT, how they operate, their historical successes, and why this work is meaningful and important. There will also be information provided that is specific to their current campaign issue, which this year is Affordable Housing, and updates about the research they have been working on. 

Orientation is from 5:30-6:00 PM in the Landon Events Room.

Everyone who does not attend orientation should be to the Landon events room by 5:45 PM to complete registration. The bus for the Nehemiah Action will leave at 6:00 PM from the Landon parking lot. Refreshments will be provided between 5:30-6:00 PM in the Landon Events Room. We will return to campus at about 9:30 PM. 

You will receive 4 service hours for attending the orientation as well as the Nehemiah Action. Those who just attend the Nehemiah Action, because they have previous exposure to PACT will receive 3 service hours.

**Please wear Barry gear, preferably red, to show our pride and support:)
