SUMMARY:"Pennsylvanians Together: For Our Common Wealth" Campaign Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nCONTACT: Kirstin Snow\, Communications Director\, snow@pennpolicy.org \n MEDIA ADVISORY: Tuesday\, 1/27\, 12:00 PM – NEW CAMPAIGN  LAUNCH – FOR OUR COMMON WEALTH\nHarrisburg\, PA— On Tuesday\, January 27\, at 12:00 PM\, the Pennsylvania Policy Center (PPC) will hold a virtual press conference to launch Pennsylvanians Together: For Our Common Wealth\, a new statewide campaign calling on elected officials to commit to demanding a Pennsylvania budget that works for everyday people—not just the ultra-wealthy and big corporations. \nAs the Commonwealth faces a major budget shortfall\, this campaign is demanding real solutions.  Speakers will highlight the urgent need to raise new revenue by requiring the wealthiest individuals and profitable corporations to pay their fair share\, rather than forcing harmful cuts to schools\, health care\, transit\, and other essential services. \nThe event will be lead by PPC’s new Executive Director and Campaign Chair\, Felicity A. Williams\, alongside community leaders\, advocates\, and impacted Pennsylvanians from across the state.  Together\, they will underscore a simple truth: real livability comes from investing in what keeps communities stable and strong. \nThe campaign calls on lawmakers to publicly commit to revenue solutions that protect basic needs like housing\, education\, public infrastructure\, and environmental protections—so Pennsylvanians can thrive\, not just survive. \nEVENT DETAILS \nWHAT: Campaign Kick Off Press Conference- Pennsylvanians Together: For Our Common Wealth \nWHEN: Tuesday\, January 27 2026\, at 12:00 PM EST \nWHERE: ON ZOOM (register here) \nWHO:  \nFelicity A. Williams\, Executive Director\, Pennsylvania Policy Center \nCharlotte Bruce\, Children’s HealthWatch \nRep. Nikki Rivera\, PA HD96 \nConnor Descheemaker\, Transit For All PA \nDwayne Heisler\, Campaign Director\, Pennsylvanians Together \nAdditional speakers to be announced. \nCutting education\, healthcare\, transit\, and safety-net programs doesn’t fix our budget—it makes everyday life harder for workers\, seniors\, and families trying to get ahead. Meanwhile\, the richest 1% in Pennsylvania pay taxes at half the rate of everyone else. Asking those who can most afford it to pay their fair share would allow the Commonwealth to invest in communities where everyone has a real chance to thrive. \nPennsylvanians deserve to thrive\, not just survive. It’s time to come together\, for our common wealth.  \n### \n  \n  \n
