PACT-Talk Presents:
Homelessness in Austin: Root Causes & Ways Forward
Happy new year folks - and what a happy new year indeed! Here is to positive changes on the horizons and promises fulfilled.
Stay tuned because PACT has an interesting line up of events for 2021!
In The Bag!
The Pakistani American Collaborative of Texas (PACT) concluded a successful election season with an edible expression of appreciation. On the last day of the Thanksgiving weekend, Sunday Nov 29th, PACT handed out 100 savory-sweet bags of samosas and laddoos to say thank you to the Pakistani American community in Austin for coming out to vote in the 2020 election.
A drive-up event on Sunday afternoon at the Westlake Performing Arts Center parking lot was followed by doorstep delivery of the bags to those who couldn’t make it in the afternoon.
Some received their special delivery in person and let us click a pic. Their delighted smiles said it all! Others texted later to acknowledge the treat, and say thank you.

This, perhaps, is THE most consequential election of our lifetime. ‘
‘Election 2020’ - an infographic by the Pakistani American Collaborative of Texas (PACT), has made voting, following election results and accessing other key election resources, easy.
We ask one favor: that you pay it forward by casting your vote and requesting at least three other people around you to vote as well.
Let your voice be heard in this election!
