Our History

A.C.T began as an extension of the energy in the 2008 presidential campaign. When we began, as a group, we were neighbors, bound together by the desire for change.  By November 4, 2008, we had grown to over 200 people strong. Recognizing that we had a nucleus of a strong organization and realizing there was much that needed to be done we felt it was important to continue as a group to ensure the change our community needed came to fruition.  Grown from that vision, ArapaHope Community Team was organized.

Our Mission Statement Arapahope Community Team (ACT) is a community organization committed to bringing about progressive change in our local community, state and country. By addressing issues and causes which we and our members identify as supporting and facilitating progressive change and by mobilizing committed and concerned citizens of all political persuasions, we can impact and improve the quality of life for all.

Our Objectives

• Identify and promote progressive local, state and national legislation.
• Advise and support local, state and national elected officials and candidates for office that promote progressive legislation.
• Build coalitions with other local, state and national organizations to expand our power of persuasion.
