Roadmap to a New PA The We The People - PA campaign, a project of PBPC, released our "Roadmap to a New Pennsylvania" this week. The "Roadmap" is a comprehensive public policy manual for lawmakers and advocates. From economic and tax fairness issues to healthcare to education to housing and food security to securing our democracy, the "Roadmap" lays out clear solutions to the everyday issues facing Pennsylvanians.
The "Roadmap" is based on the We The People - PA campaign's pro-active issue agenda, which was created by Pennsylvanians like you who came together in community meetings all over the state in 2018. We reached broad agreement on what we want from state government: public policies that make poor, working-class and middle-class Pennsylvanians safer, healthier, and more prosperous. The "Roadmap" is a more detailed analysis of the challenges Pennsylvanians face and the policies that can be turned into legislation that reflect the principles outlined in the We The People - PA agenda.
If you're able to, please share the "Roadmap" via social media:

| Since the federal government started distributing food stamps to low-income Americans in 1964, there has never been a month in which payments weren't made. But March is looming as a potentially historic moment in which the five-week-old partial government shutdown - if it stretches past February - may preclude people from receiving benefits for the first time. continue » | | | | | | | | | Sent via Action Network, a free online toolset anyone can use to organize.
