Let’s Get Moving!

January 5, 2017 by SV Progressives

There is a moment in everyone’s life when they decide now is the time to take action. Some may be moved by a specific issue or story. Others may be personally impacted and have no choice but to fight.

From January 20th and going forward, the fight to just maintain the status quo must be fought by all progressives. The agenda of the incoming administration, indicated through tweets, interviews and cabinet appointees, underscores a major shift in public policy and a threat to the very things that we hold dear: environmental and natural resource protection; women’s reproductive rights; freedom of speech; freedom of religion; affordable healthcare; quality public education; gender, race and LGBT equality; action on climate change; clean energy and the list goes on.

Join the local progressive movement and make your voice heard. Let’s get moving!

Democracy, Hijacked!

This past week the republican senate leaders hijacked efforts to pass sensible redistricting reform in Pennsylvania.

Stop the cruel attacks on those in need

Conservatives are proposing work requirements for Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients — an unnecessary and cruel act that would actually result in the government spending more to administer these programs.
