Your neighbors need you.  

The Trump administration has been targeting the trans community since day one. Trans folks living their truth and being who they are is not a threat to any of us, but we know what is — this attempt to divide working people and deprive us of our power. When they come for one group of working people, they come for all of us. Billionaires like Elon Musk and the MAGA right win when we turn against each other. THAT AIN’T RIGHT!!! 

Trans people will never be erased. It’s up to all of us to fight for protections at our local and state levels here in PA. We all deserve to live with safety, dignity, and the resources we need to thrive, and this fight takes all of us. 

We can’t afford to stand on the sidelines when our trans neighbors’ lives are at stake. Join TAKE, PA Coalition For Trans Youth, NEPA Stands Up, legislative allies, and community partners at the PA State Capitol in Harrisburg on March 31st for a Trans Day Of Visibility Rally at 12pm! The people united will never be divided.

Can’t make it to the rally but want to get involved? No worries! Become a member of PA Stands Up or your local chapter today. 

In community,

P.S. –  PA Stands Up’s Membership Drive starts next week!!! Phonebank with us to ask our supporters to become dues-paying members! We’ll provide a mini refresher training at the top of the call. Dues help us remain politically and financially independent in our work to create a Pennsylvania that works for all of us.

PA Stands Up’s Summer Fellowship applications are open! Each fellow will be advised by a PA Stands Up staff member and will work alongside volunteer leaders in their project area. We are looking for people who can commit 15-20 hours a week for the summer.  Fellows will receive a stipend of $250/wk, and we are more than happy to help you earn credits through your school. The team will review applications on a rolling basis, and fellows will start on June 3rd.
