Caribbean American Political Action Committee (C-PAC)
The Caribbean American Political Action Committee (C-PAC) was founded in November 2005 with the goal of advancing the political agenda of Caribbean-Americans currently residing in and around the Washington, DC Metropolitan area (which includes Washington, DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia).

C-PAC’s overarching mission is to be the unified political voice of the Metropolitan area’s vibrant and growing Caribbean-American community. To that end, C-PAC will endorse and support candidates for public office in the Metropolitan area who articulate policy positions that will strengthen the economic, educational, social, and cultural conditions of individuals of Caribbean heritage residing in the area. C-PAC will also seek to foster greater relationships between the U.S. Federal, State and Local governments and the nations of the Caribbean.

C-PAC was organized and incorporated as a non-partisan political action committee under the District of Columbia’s Non-Profit Corporation Act (DC Code, 2001 Edition, Title 29, Chapter 3). C-PAC may receive contributions of up to $5,000.00 from each individual contributor per calendar year. Corporate contributions are not permitted.
