Governor Shapiro, this is a PA Budget we can cheer for!
Governor Shapiro is investing in our kids, our families, and our futures with a bold and ambitious budget. Addressing a joint session of the General Assembly on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, the Governor laid out a sweeping proposal that will fully fund public education, make higher education affordable, raise the minimum wage to $15 dollars, combat medical debt, call for the legalization of marijuana, and invest in public transportation.
This is a budget worth fighting for, and we need to start now!

Tell Congress: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act Now!
Throughout the region, the Commonwealth, and the nation, attacks on voters and democracy are happening at alarming rates. Voters are turning out in record numbers, but without government action to protect our democracy, the safeguards in place mean little to nothing.
Take action today to show that you're pro-voter and pro-democracy.

Are you enraged by the extreme Supreme Court's scandals, devastating decisions, and denial of our freedoms?
We are – and you should be too. Extremist justices sitting on the Supreme Court hand down consequential decisions about our safety, our freedoms, our environment, and our democracy. While they make rules our country has to follow, they flout ethical standards and use their power to enrich themselves, reward their friends, and punish their enemies.

It's past time to pass the Fairness Act in Pennsylvania!
It's 2023 - and it's still legal to be fired for being gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer in Pennsylvania. It's still legal to deny someone housing or sevice in your business because of their sexuality or gender identity. The Fairness Act would make this bigotry illegal, but it still needs to pass the PA Senate to become state law.
We can't wait for the Senate to act. Let's fight for local protections right now!

Let's End Gun Violence - It's Time for a Common Agenda for Gun Safety : For the first time in over a decade, there has been progress made in the PA House of Representatives on common-sense gun reforms! On May 22nd, the House passed expanded violence checks and Extreme Risks Protection Orders (ERPO). A third policy to require the reporting of lost and stolen gun failed by one vote. We need YOUR help to ensure that we pass common sense solutions to ending the epidemic of gun violence!
