Pontiac Policy Council

Who Is P2C?

The Pontiac Policy Council's (P2C) objective is to promote education on local, state, and federal policy through civic involvement by providing the Pontiac community with the tools and resources needed to advocate for policy change. P2C provides a platform for the community's resources and joint efforts to move Pontiac forward economically, politically, and socially. P2C intends to form a coalition of committed community agencies, grassroots organizations, and institutions to engage, educate, and empower Pontiac locals.

Pontiac Policy Council aspires to provide a conduit for political and policy initiatives that promote progressive change and social justice, resulting in equity and equal opportunity. P2C will accomplish this by developing a cohesive, collaborative network that prioritizes political and policy entrepreneurship in order to bring about long-term, systemic change in the City of Pontiac through a grassroots, bottom-up approach.
