SAAPAC was organized in San Antonio following the 2004 elections. Local political leaders, activists, and volunteers felt the need for a local presence what would be ongoing, rather than forming around specific campaigns.
As written in the SAAPAC bylaws, the purpose of the organization is:
"to actively promote local, state and national causes and political candidates, and to establish and maintain a location from which members in good standing and members of the community can meet to educate the public and to plan, organize and engage in progressive activities."
We've provided a meeting place for the following groups:
Bexar Democratic Women,
Northeast Bexar County Democrats - various planning committees,
AlamObama,
San Antonio Community Organizers,
Move On,
Democracy for America,
Clean Elections Texas-San Antonio,
True-Courage Action Network.
