PACG History - Did you know we had these forums?
20th Anniversary Party Committee
One of the reasons that PACG has been so successful for so long is that we established Issue Forums. Here's what our website says about this concept: As progressives, we all care about many different issues. Those who feel more strongly about a given issue can join others to work specifically on that issue as a core member of an Issue Forum.
Over the years, we have had many different Issue Forums. Here's a list of some of them, going back to 2008. We have information about a few of these listed on our website (links in blue). Those marked with an asterisk ( * ) below, are currently active forums.
