PATH’s Impact
PATH has worked to build power across the county and state to win on issues that directly impact real people's lives. The secret to PATH’s success lies in our commitment to identify and develop leaders in every community where we work. We rely on a radical tactic: We meet people face-to-face and build relationships that help to re-knit the frayed social fabric of our life. We don’t seek justice and social change for people, we seek change with people. We tackle big problems by breaking them down into issues that can be addressed. We build power by building community. We win our biggest victories by listening to what is needed, finding like-minded people to work with us for change, and engaging leaders who can help us to achieve our goals. Here are just a few of our key victories.
