And yes, the religious elements of PACT are a part of its success. Advocating for social justice is a tenet of many faiths.
“That’s one of the obligations of a believer. That’s one of the things God tells us to do,” said Patricia Salahuddin, member of Masjid Al-Ansar.
ALT Patricia Salahuddin speaks to members of PACT (People Acting for Community Together), an interfaith nonprofit, during their annual assembly meeting at the Ebenezer United Methodist Church. The group tackles social justice issues on behalf of Miami-Dade County residents.
