Pagan Unity Campaign, Missouri Chapter
The Pagan Unity Campaign (PUC) is a Political Action Committee (PAC) in the forming.
It is our goal to become an official PAC after our first Pagan Congress gathering
planned for 2005. At the Pagan Congress, PUC will set official goals and begin earnest
fundraising.
Until that time PUC is in it’s foundational stage: building a nationwide network of
staff and volunteers, creating viable organizational systems, building name recognition,
and of course, alerting electing officials that Pagans will no longer be an invisible
presence, that we will demand our rights and participate in the democratic process to
further our issues.
