  • Community Conversation: Healthcare, Federal Tax Changes, and the Impacts on Working Families in PA

    TO REGISTER, GO TO: https://www.mobilize.us/atnepa/event/750238/. Have you heard about the proposed federal cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs that could be addressed in the reconciliation bill as soon as January? These cuts pose a serious threat to Pennsylvania and our state budget potentially creating a multibillion dollar short fall and jeopardizing priorities like public education. Discussions in Washington about extending and expanding the 2017 tax cuts only heightens these threats for working families in Pennsylvania. This event is open to everyone. Join Action Together NEPA and Pennsylvanians Together, in partnership with SEIU PA and UFCW Local 1776 for a real conversation about proposals that could harm Pennsylvanians and what we can do about them.

  • State Policy Action Meeting – February

    REGISTER HERE! Join us for an informative conversation about the state budget and opportunities to take action! We'll be taking a closer look at the priorities Governor Josh Shapiro outlined in his proposed 2025–26 state budget and be joined by Senator Nick Pisciottano, who was elected last fall to represent the people of Allegheny County in the 45th Senate district! Space is limited, so RSVP today to get your the Zoom login link for the meeting! PPC's executive director Marc Stier and policy analyst Castin Stone will highlight some of the budget's key features, particularly funding for education, health care, and other vital services as well as how to raise the revenue to fund these priorities. We'll also hear Sen. Pisciottano's thoughts about the proposed budget, his own budget priorities for 2025, and how budget negotiations might proceed, particularly in light of how Trump's threatened cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs could wreak havoc on the state budget and Pennsylvania's economy.
