We Will Decide PA Together!

Happy Halloween and Happy Diwali!

Boo! 👻 We’re less than a week from election day, Tuesday, November 5th!!!

PA is one of the most important swing states in this election, and that pressure can feel overwhelming. Consider this a reminder to take a deep breath, make sure you’re nourishing yourself, and get some movement in between phone banks. 

Together, we will decide PA. It’s up to us to get out the vote and elect people who will work with our communities – people who know we all deserve to live with safety, dignity, and the resources we need to thrive. No matter who wins, we will continue organizing for working people and holding our elected officials accountable.

Remember, voting is a strategy, and we’re choosing between two futures. One will prioritize reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, working people over corporate profits, and raising wages while lowering costs. The other will prioritize stripping us of our rights, giving tax breaks to billionaires and corporations, and making it as difficult as possible to organize effectively. In these final days, we must have difficult, compassionate conversations with friends and family members because this election is too important to sit out! 

Make your plan to vote TODAY!!! Polls are open 7am-8pm. As long as you’re in line before 8pm, you can vote, so STAY IN LINE!!! Find your polling place here. See which races and candidates are on your ballot, and see where your candidates stand on the issues you care about here. Save your choices for reference at the ballot box! Did you request a mail-in ballot? Reminder to get your mail-in ballots to your nearest ballot drop box (or alternative) ASAP!!! It’s too late to mail your ballot and guarantee it will arrive in time for Election Day, so please drop it off to ensure your vote is counted in time.

You can make a difference in deciding this election, so I’m asking you to volunteer with us before Election Day. Knock doors for the Harris and Walz campaign every day until the election in Lancaster or Berks! Don’t live near Berks or Lancaster, or need a virtual option? Join us for deep canvass phone banks TODAY from 5 to 9 PM or TOMORROW from 11 AM to 3 PM and 3 to 7 PM with our national partners, People’s Action to have compassionate conversations about this upcoming election. Want to get involved in local races? Join us on Monday for our down ballot phonebanks! We’re stronger together. Now let’s get out the vote!!!

In community,
