Hi there,
Pennsylvania has now entered its fourth month without a state budget — and the situation is spiraling. Our commonwealth is the only state in the nation without a spending plan, and now we’re colliding with a federal government shutdown that’s delaying or suspending billions in funding.
That’s why your voice is needed now. |
Local governments, schools, and social service agencies across Pennsylvania are facing impossible choices: draining reserves, cutting services, or even shutting down programs that families rely on every day. Essential help like mental health services, housing for survivors of domestic violence, emergency food assistance, and senior care are all at risk.
This crisis is avoidable — but the state Senators in Harrisburg are still dragging their feet. And with anti-environment leaders running the state Senate, the programs that would actually lower costs and strengthen communities — like clean energy for schools, public transit, and home repair investments — are at risk of being left out altogether.
Pennsylvanians cannot afford more delays. Tell your state senator: pass a state budget now that lowers costs, protects health, and invests in clean energy jobs. |
Every day without a budget puts more services — and more people — in danger. Together, we can break the gridlock and put Pennsylvanians first.
