  • “Families First, Not Billionaires!” Town Hall – Harrisburg

    The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company 50 N Cameron St 2nd floor, Harrisburg, PA

    REGISTER HERE. The rich got richer. We got the bill. While working families in Pennsylvania’s 10th district struggle with rising costs, housing insecurity, and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, the ultra-rich and big corporations are cashing in—thanks to a tax code that’s been hijacked by billionaires and their allies in Congress. This is what oligarchy looks like. Scott Perry backed the “Big Ugly” law, cutting what our communities rely on—while protecting tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. This isn’t an accident. It’s a massive transfer of wealth—from us to them. Fair Share America, Pennsylvanians Together, Pennsylvanians Policy Center, 50501, OnePA, Northern Dauphin Democracy Coalition, Workforce PA, Planned Parenthood PA, PA10th District Network, Commonwealth Communications, For Our Future, MomsRising, and our local partners are hosting this town hall because the system is rigged—and it’s time we start fighting back. Join us to share your story, speak your truth, and demand a government that works for us, not just the ultra-wealthy.   REGISTER HERE.

  • “Broken Vows” Town Hall: Families vs. the Big Ugly Bill

    The Green Ridge Club 1645 Wyoming Ave., Scranton, PA

    REGISTER HERE. Congressman Bresnahan is getting married before the year is out—but he’s already broken his promises to the people of this district. By voting for the Big Ugly Bill, he turned his back on working families—slashing Medicaid and SNAP, undermining affordable housing, attacking immigrant communities, and putting the stability of our local hospitals at risk—all while giving away tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. From Scranton to every corner of the district, families are feeling the impact. That’s why we’re gathering at the Greenridge Club—a venue known for hosting weddings, now hosting a very different kind of event. Fair Share America, Pennsylvanians Together, Pennsylvanians Policy Center, Planned Parenthood PA, Action Together NEPA, Commonwealth Communications, For Our Future, MomsRising, and our local partners are hosting this town hall because the system is rigged—and it’s time we start fighting back.Join us for a district-wide town hall where residents, advocates, and community leaders will: Expose the harm caused by the Big Ugly Bill Hold Congressman Bresnahan accountable Demand an economy—and a democracy—that puts families first   REGISTER HERE.

  • PPC State Policy Action Call

    PA students are back in school, Labor Day has passed, and we're entering a third month without a state budget — in violation of the PA constitution — thanks to inaction and political gamesmanship by Republicans in the state Senate!   REGISTER HERE Join us on Zoom at 1PM this Thursday for our monthly State Policy Action meeting, to learn about the damage being done to our state, as well as opportunities to join with other Pennsylvanians to fight back against GOP bullying. This is no longer an inconvenience, but an escalating crisis, as school districts, pre-K programs, public transit agencies, and counties are struggling to operate after more than TWO MONTHS without state funding. So far, the Senate Republican impasse has halted $1.75 BILLION in payments to the Commonwealth's public schools, and the past-due amount continues to rise. Our featured guests will be Shirlee Howe, the manager of field operations for Children First, and Gillian Kratzer, deputy director of Better PA — key leaders in advocacy efforts across the state. Register today and receive a login and calendar reminder for this not-to-be-missed update and action meeting. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon!
