• 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.

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

    International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local Lodge 13 2300 New Falls Rd, Levittown, PA, United States

    SIGN UP TO ATTEND! ON FACEBOOK Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress are calling for an extension and expansion of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. And they 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. These cuts pose a serious threat to Pennsylvania and our state budget, potentially creating a multi-billion dollar shortfall 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 Pennsylvanians Together and the Pennsylvania Policy Center, in partnership with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, for a real conversation about proposals that could harm Pennsylvanians, and what we can do about them.
