Republican legislators are causing chaos by holding out on transit funding. It may have started in SEPA, but fare increases and service cuts are popping up all over PA. #FundTransitNow

Wonder how SEPTA cuts could affect you? @inquirer.com has set up a site where you can find out. Of course it would also be great for ALL PENNSYLVANIANS if PA Senate Republicans would just fund transit. 👀 www.inquirer.com/transportati...

Voting is easy breezy in PA. All you have to do is apply for a mail-in ballot just got to vote.pa and request your mail-in ballot today! #Election2025 #JudicialRetention

EVERY county has public transportation. Even counties without bus systems have public transit for the elderly and folks with disabilities. We ALL need fully funded public transit. #TransitForAllPA

It's time to pass a budget that gives Pennsyvanians what we need to thrive, not one that barely lets us survive. Call Sen. Pittman and tell him to stop playing games! #PABudget

“I want to be clear, public transit isn’t optional. It’s essential,” @austindavispa.bsky.social said. “1 million Pennsylvanians use public transit every single day.” The state House passed a bill to fund transportation on Tuesday with bipartisan support 107-96. penncapital-star.com/transportati...

Itching to learn about the budget at the federal AND state level? There's still time to RSVP for the For Our Future PA budget event with our Deputy Director @politicsmom.com

Confused about the PA Budget? Well we've boiled it all down just for you! #thread #PABudget

We've introduced numerous pieces of legislation that support public transportation throughout Pennsylvania. Check out the list below to find out what we've been working on.

Why is #JudicialRetention so important? If you make a mistake on your mail in ballot that stops it from being counted, you should be able to fill out a provisional ballot and still vote. Thanks to the PA Supreme Court, you can.

PA has 53 transit systems statewide, which provide service to all 67 counties in PA. Public transit across the state directly employs over 16,800 people. With an annual economic impact of $5.3 million, ALL Pennsylvanians benefit from transit. 🚍🚐🚌 pennwatch.org/hundreds-of-...

Transit for All PA is pushing for a funding plan to raise more than $500 million/year for transit by: 🚗raising PA's rental fee from $2 - $6.50 🏎️increasing lease fee from 3% - 5% 🚘charging a 6% excise tax on rides provided by services such as Uber & Lyft www.unionprogress.com/2025/06/05/p...

In addition to the countless children that will die and have died without lifesaving medication provided by some of the programs on the chopping block, our state and every other state will have to figure out how to make up vast shortfalls. www.politicspa.com/trumps-resci...

Why do the 2025 PA Supreme Court elections matter? Join us on Thursday, June 5 at 6:30 PM ET on Zoom for Courts 101 with special guest State Senator Lindsey Williams (SD-38). 🗳️ Learn how judicial elections and retention votes affect Pennsylvanians. 🔗 RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/court...

It's been 16 years since PA raised the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage: - Is GOOD for businesses (yes even small ones) - It decreases turnover which reduces training costs and stress for employees and employers - It makes for happier and more stable employees and more!

Join us tomorrow, 5/15, for our state Policy Action call! We'll be joined by Adam of @ppadvocatespa.bsky.social & Gillian with @betterpa.bsky.social to talk about legislation in the PA General Assembly that would impact LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive freedom.

BLOG: A Not-So-Sweet 16 - Pennsylvania's Minimum Wage is turning 16 Years Old keystoneresearch.org/research_pub...

Pennsylvania hasn't raised the minimum wage in going on 16 years. Look around. It's time.

Shouts into the void: Privatizing services has never made them more cost effective, not even once. Public transportation is a...wait for it...public service which should be provided by the public, in other words, the government.

The majority (55%) of workers who would benefit from a 2025 minimum wage increase to $15/hour work full time (35 or more hours per week) #MinimumWageMonday

Research has found that for every 10% increase in the minimum wage, the poverty rate decreases by about 5% in the long run; a full 38% of workers who would benefit in PA have a family income below 200% of the poverty level. Time to #RaiseTheWage! #MinimumWageMonday

Raising the minimum wage would have concrete impacts on nearly one in four people who would see an increase in their wage. #MinimumWageMonday

This is an amazing program, let's fund it!

Did you know that nearly 90% of workers who earn less than $15/hr are 20 years old or older? The minimum wage isn't about summer jobs for teens. It's about working families. #MinimumWageMonday

The York Dispatch understands that we need to do better on the minimum wage!

Leaders across PA are saying...

Damn straight. Raise the wage!

We are glad to see the governor propose new adequacy funding for K-12 schools. But even if repeated in the future, his proposal will not meet the court’s mandate for 7 more years. We should close the gap in four years. #FinishTheJob #PABudget

Get ready! We're covering Governor Shapiro's budget address starting around noon! #Thread #PABudget25

"As Pennsylvanians observe our dapper rodent weather prognosticator’s forecast, workers across the commonwealth will continue to wake up each day faced with the same reality we’ve known for 16 years now — we still have a $7.25 per hour minimum wage." #RaiseTheWage triblive.com/opinion/clai...

As a reminder, 21 states raised their minimum wages on Jan. 1, but Pennsylvania was not among them. #RaiseTheWage penncapital-star.com/economy/pa-d...

All of PA's neighbors have embraced legalization. Could that mean Pennsylvania — which has been flirting with the idea for years — could move on legalization sometime soon? Maybe. The state could benefit from the revenue. triblive.com/opinion/edit...

Applications for the PA Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program are open, and an increased income limit means that eligible residents who make as much as $46,520 can now apply for rebates. lancasteronline.com/news/local/h...

The number of seniors who qualified for Pennsylvania’s property tax and rent rebate grew by more than 100,000 following an increase of the program’s income cap last year. Thankful for Governor Shapiro's leadership! penncapital-star.com/government-p...

You know how we avoid losing to friggin' Ohio? Raise the minimum wage. As of January 1, 2025, Ohio raised their minimum wage AGAIN to $10.70. #RaiseTheWage
