PENNSYLVANIANS TOGETHER
We are Pennsylvanians working together to create a commonwealth where we all can thrive, not just survive.Pennsylvanians Together is a nonpartisan campaign of diverse Pennsylvanians.
We come from every corner of the state. We are rich and poor, Black, brown, and white. We are native-born and we are immigrants, both documented and undocumented.
We came together in a series of community conversations and found we all have the same goals.
The Challenge
Pennsylvanians working together in the 20th century—in community groups, advocacy organizations, and labor unions—brought us high wages, strong unions, public education at all levels, and civil rights. Together, we created public policies that enabled our hard work to create a vibrant economy and a strong middle class.
But these achievements were imperfect. Too often, women, Black people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, and others were excluded.
And in recent years, those achievements—and our efforts to extend them to those previously excluded—have been under attack by right-wingers advancing a corporate-sponsored agenda. By dividing us based on what we look like and where we live, they have dominated Pennsylvania politics for too long.
The Path Forward
We are determined to rise above our differences and work to achieve the goals we all share:
