About American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee

The American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee (APPAC) is a comprehensive civic engagement organization based in New York, NY, dedicated to building political infrastructure and advocacy resources for underrepresented communities. Operating through three distinct organizational arms—a Political Action Committee, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and a 501(c)(3) foundation—APPAC provides multifaceted support across multiple levels of government engagement.

APPAC's core services include candidate development and support for Pakistani Americans and Muslim Americans seeking local, city, and state office positions. The organization specializes in policy creation, legislative advocacy, and civil rights protection, working to advance legislation that benefits marginalized communities while promoting equality and justice. APPAC actively builds grassroots activist networks throughout the nation, creating educational resources and infrastructure designed to increase civic participation among communities historically underrepresented in the political process.

Founded in 2017 with a mission to serve all marginalized communities nationally, APPAC focuses on protecting civil liberties, combating prejudice and discrimination, and fostering meaningful political engagement. The organization collaborates with like-minded individuals and groups across New York, NY and beyond, working shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure fair representation at all governmental levels. Whether through resource development, policy advocacy, or direct candidate support, APPAC delivers tangible results in advancing the civic and human rights of those committed to inclusive democracy and standing against bigotry in all its forms.
