What is ACT?
Anne Arundel Connection Together (ACT) is a non-partisan and non-profit alliance of congregations and community groups in Anne Arundel County representing over 20,000 adults. At ACT, we:
- We meet people face-to-face, listen and build relationships that create the capacity in a community for leadership development, citizen-led action and strong relationships across the lines that often divide our communities.
- To act on big problems impacting people, we break them down into issues that can be addressed.
- Listening to what is needed, we find new and emerging community leaders who want to work with us for change, and engage others who can help us achieve our goals.
- We believe in building power in order to have the capacity to act: power that is reciprocal, that is tempered by our values and traditions, and that includes more people in the dynamics of public life.
