The group PACT, or People Acting for Community Together, wants to put an end to the arrests of people with suspended licenses due to unpaid fees and fines. They say the law unjustly punishes people who just can't afford the fees. @terihornstein

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.

PACT’s work yields results.
Successes include pushing a county plan to plant more trees to help reduce rising heat in urban areas, community IDs to make it easier for people to access services and expanding Miami-Dade’s civil citation program to help reduce jail time for minors.

Another spoke about skyrocketing homeowner’s insurance costs: “My homeowner's insurance increased from $3,500 in 2022 to $7,500 in 2023. I am retired, living on a fixed income,” she said. “I’m considering returning to work.”
Members then vote on an issue for the upcoming year.

I applaud @MayorDaniella for jumping out in front of this horrific gun violence issue in Miami Dade County. Hopefully 🙏🏾 the fusion of county and federal law enforcement agencies and community leaders will make an impact and lead to some arrests. – at West Little River, FL
