The​ ​changing​ ​political​ ​climate​ ​of​ ​our​ ​country​ ​has​ ​empowered​ ​us​ ​to​ ​start​ ​the​ ​Political​ ​Action​ ​Network.​ ​PAN​ ​is​ ​a Southern​ ​California​ ​grassroots​ ​organization​ ​dedicated​ ​to​ ​the​ ​protection​ ​of​ ​human​ ​rights.​ ​This​ ​includes​ ​our belief​ ​that​ ​everyone​ ​deserves​ ​access​ ​to​ ​affordable​ ​health​ ​care,​ ​women’s​ ​reproductive​ ​services,​ ​and​ ​that immigrants,​ ​refugees,​ ​and​ ​“dreamers”​ ​deserve​ ​our​ ​protection​ ​and​ ​assistance.​ ​We​ ​will​ ​work​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​our constitutional​ ​rights,​ ​freedom​ ​of​ ​the​ ​press,​ ​government​ ​transparency,​ ​and​ ​separation​ ​of​ ​church​ ​and​ ​state. These​ ​ideas​ ​are​ ​paramount​ ​to​ ​preserving​ ​freedom,​ ​scientific​ ​inquiry,​ ​environmental​ ​protection,​ ​and​ ​education​ ​in our​ ​country.

PAN is currently meeting once a month in the San Fernando Valley to plan ways to make a difference by targeting local, state and national policies. Through letter writing, visits with local officials and by joining larger political marches, we have both a monthly meeting and a monthly action to ensure our voices are heard in a useful, meaningful, and non-violent way.
