NASW PACE - Political Action for Candidate Election

Political Action for Candidate Election (PACE)

Political Action for Candidate Election (PACE) is the political action arm of the NASW. As a political action committee, PACE endorses and financially contributes to candidates from any party who support NASW's policy agenda. 

PACE builds political power for social workers through field organizers mobilizing NASW members to vote, through contributions to candidates who agree with NASW policy positions, and political training for members.

The National PACE Board of Trustees endorses and contributes to federal candidates running for U.S. House and Senate seats. They can also endorse and contribute to Presidential candidates. Chapter PACE Committees decide on local and state races.
