FA-PAC

Faculty Association Political Action Committee

Brief description
The Faculty Association Political Action Committee (FA-PAC) is the political arm of the union. FA-PAC’s primary purpose is to:

  • Advocate on behalf of the interests of FHDA faculty
  • Support candidates and initiatives that advance those interests
  • Engage faculty in political activities promoting those interests

The FA-PAC advances faculty interests through community organizing, campaigns and elections, and public policy advocacy work.

Thanks to all our supporters!
The FA-PAC’s work is made possible by the incredible support of faculty (approximately 150), staff, and some administrators who make monthly voluntary contributions (averaging $8.71/month).

If you’re already a supporter, we thank you! If you wish to increase your support or become a supporter, please do so at:
