Rally

Join us at The People’s Corner — the intersection of energy, action, and everyday voices. We’re gathering at Walnut & 3rd Sts. to reach Harrisburg’s most diverse, spontaneous audience — the people moving through the heart of the Capitol District. RSVP HERE. Our goal? To call on Republicans in Congress to support plans to reverse their harmful health care cuts, prevent health care costs from rising even more, and reopen the government. These pop-up visibility rallies will spotlight the urgent issues facing South Central Pennsylvanians: The Republican shutdown and its real-life impact The decline of the American economy under failed policies The emergency status of healthcare in Pennsylvania due to Medicare and Medicaid cuts Bring your signs, your passion, and your voice. Every conversation, honk, and wave counts in showing that Pennsylvanians care about justice, jobs, and democracy.

WHERE: Public Square Park, 1 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711 WHEN: August 16, 1–2:30 p.m. RSVP here! On Saturday, August 16th, we are gathering across the country to urge our members of Congress to safeguard one of the country's most vital sources of income for families and the elderly: Social Security. Join Affordable Pennsylvania, Action Together NEPA, Pennsylvanians Together, and Pennsylvania Policy Center as we stand up for Social Security and demand Congress protect what we’ve earned.
