PATH 2025 Impact Report

In a time when our democracy is facing many challenges, PATH’s local, on-the-ground people power organizing is more important than ever.

In 2025, PATH achieved several important victories for climate, housing, and education at the county and state levels, held listening sessions with over 700 people, and expanded our organizational power and recognition.

In 2026, we’re positioned to shape the state and local elections and make them about the issues that are most pressing in people’s day-to-day lives. We’re holding candidates accountable and making our democracy work for us!

About Us

What We Do

Strategic Action

We set daring goals and create bold strategies on the most important issues facing communities in Howard County and the nation. We train public leaders to take specific and targeted action on a range of issues.

Community Power

We connect groups of organized people and organized money to expand our power and impact. Together, we bring the world as it is a little bit closer to the world as it should be, in concrete ways. 

Collective Vision

The work of PATH begins with listening to members of our communities, in one-on-one and small group settings. Through these relationships, we challenge each other to imagine the change we want to see in our own communities.
