Why the Need for Coalitions?
The term "progressive," means progress or improvement through social and governmental reforms. A strategic way for progressive organizations and individuals to affect change and reform is to enhance their strength and effectiveness by working together in coalitions. It is on this premise that
PCCI has been created.

We facilitate networking, build mutual support, carry out
