DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE!\nJoin us for a call with Representatives Madeleine Dean\, Dwight Evans\, and Summer Lee and a representative from Senator John Fetterman’s office to discuss ways to fight back against the Trump administration’s dangerous actions!\nBackground:\nThe Pennsylvania Policy Center and Pennsylvanians Together have serious concerns and are in opposition to Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress who are calling for an extension and expansion of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. \nThey want to pay for it by making drastic reductions in federal spending for Medicaid\, CHIP\, and SNAP. Pennsylvania voters\, like voters in other states\, strongly support these programs and with good reason. Medicaid provides critical support for millions of Pennsylvanians.

SUMMARY:Dauphin County Notice & Cure Mobilization Training
DESCRIPTION:Dauphin County Mobilization Training | Implement a notice and cure program!\n\n\n\nVIRTUAL TRAINING: August 13 at 6:30 pm \nAt an upcoming meeting\, the Dauphin County board of elections may consider an important pro-voter policy for November’s election: a notice and cure program. In the 2024 primary\, in Dauphin County\, 296 mail ballots were not counted and in the 2023 General Election\, similarly 109 ballots were not counted. These voters were disenfranchised because they were not notified nor were they allowed to fix their mistakes on their mail-in ballot’s return envelope. Dauphin residents and voters deserve better. And we need your help to make sure a notice and cure policy is both considered AND enacted in Dauphin. \nAdopting a robust notice and cure program would make Dauphin County’s elections more safe\, secure\, and accurate by giving eligible\, active voters the opportunity to correct any minor mistakes on their mail ballot packet and ensure that their vote is counted. \nWe hope voters will attend the upcoming BOE meeting to advocate in favor of Dauphin County implementing a notice and cure program. To get ready\, please attend the VIRTUAL TRAINING on August 13 at 6:30 pm. \nThis training will get you ready to speak on behalf of this pro-voter program. By signing up we will have your contact information and will alert you when the BOE meeting is scheduled.
