It’s Mary with PA Stands Up. The General Election is coming up fast, and as we gear up to defeat the rise of fascism, it’s important to know how we got here. Can you join us for a mass call on Wednesday, September 18, at 6 pm to learn how we win the fight for our political future?

At this call, we’ll establish the historical context that led to a decaying fascist empire, name the playbook the right has been using in their decades-long operation against working families, and lay out our plan to fight for the future we all deserve – a future where all of us, of all genders, races, and backgrounds can thrive. We’re fighting for public control of the economy, a real multiracial democracy, racial and gender justice, and a world where we put people and the planet first, not profits for a wealthy few. 

Pennsylvania is a key swing state, and wealthy billionaires like Jeffrey Yass are trying to buy their candidate’s path to victory with over $70 million in campaign spending in PA this year alone. The alliance between PA billionaires and national authoritarians is dangerous and has historic implications for rising fascism in our country. Throughout history, when fascists come to power, it is often with the support of the ultra-wealthy. When billionaires can buy our elections, they write policies that harm us and steal our tax dollars to fill their coffers. 

Learn how you can fight back against politicians handing control of our basic needs to greedy corporations and billionaires! Let’s give the power back to working people, and out of the hands of a rich and powerful few.
