The Neighbors United Political Action Committee Hosts Annual Fundraiser
The Neighbors United Political Action Committee(NUPAC.) based in Fontana, California sponsored their annual fundraiser that raises money in support of African-American Democrats, who seek local offices. They were founded in August 2019, and have raised over $30,000 these past two years. Every month each member deposits $25 into a bank account, in an effort to save up for each election cycle. They also interview eligible candidates and award the raised campaign contributions to the different candidates.
