The Somali American Women Political Action Committee (SAWPAC) empowers Somali American women to take an active role in the political process. We advocate for key issues that impact our community and work to ensure that our voices are heard, and our needs are addressed. Hear from some of the women whose lives we’ve changed through our work.

Our Mission

To uplift and amplify the voices of Somali American women in politics by advocating for policies that protect our rights, promote our well-being, and ensure our representation in all levels of government.

Get Involved

Somali women and families live across the state, and like the diversity of the regions of Minnesota, our communities have different needs from access to quality education, affordable housing, and economic opportunities. SAWPAC works with political leaders throughout Minnesota to ensure they hear the voices of Somali women and families and our diverse needs are addressed.
