UPDATED START TIME — THIS BUDGET IS BULLS**T: Rally outside Rob Bresnahan’s Scranton Office

Rep. Rob Bresnahan's office 116 North Washington Ave., Scranton

UPDATED START TIME: 2 P.M. Senator Chris Coons is joining us! REGISTER HERE! Join For Our Future PA, Action Together NEPA, the Pennsylvania Policy Center, Pennsylvanians Together, storytellers from the community, and Senator Chris Coons at 2 p.m. on July 1st to hear why Congressman Rob Bresnahan’s vote for the TRUMP–GOP big, bloated, and ugly bill cannot be tolerated! We'll be OUTSIDE Rep. Bresnahan's office located at 116 North Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania 18503, where we'll let him know that his vote for the BBB is shameful and unacceptable! In the coming days, the Republican-controlled Senate will be considering the House-passed GOP mega-bill from hell. The GOP’s reconciliation bill from the darkest corners of its ambitions passed the House of Representatives in DC in May, and now the bill is before the Senate for consideration. This bill would negatively impact Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs and services in the state that millions of Pennsylvanians rely on! Part of the GOP’s scheme with SNAP, Medicaid, and other programs is for a cost-sharing requirement with the states. Pennsylvania would find it difficult—if not impossible—to pick up that fiscal slack, which would undermine these programs—just as the GOP cruelly intends. Not only that, […]

Pennsylvanians Together Community Conversation – Berrysburg, PA

REGISTER HERE! The Big Ugly Bill has passed the house and now is the time to make your voice heard. The bill calls for devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and the safety net, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Pennsylvania voters, like voters in other states, strongly support these programs, and with good reason. Medicaid provides critical support for millions of Pennsylvanians. The reconciliation bill will terminate healthcare coverage for around 13 million Americans and kick approximately 3 million Americans off of SNAP. While new requirements for the state to help pay for the SNAP program would result in new expenditures for the state of $226 million to over a billion. The bill does all this harm while adding $2.4 trillion to the federal deficit. This event is open to everyone. Join Pennsylvanians Together and the Pennsylvania Policy Center, for a real conversation about proposals that could harm Pennsylvanians, and what we can do about them. We will have experts to discuss what these cuts mean for us and our communities as well as explain what you can do to fight the cuts.
