On November 8th, We Vote to Protect Our Freedoms.
Make the Road Action in Pennsylvania builds political power rooted in working-class communities and promotes policies that improve the lives of all. We know the struggles that our neighbors across PA are facing to make ends meet, with jobs that don’t pay enough and costs rising. To meet the needs of working families and ensure everyone has the freedom to thrive, we need stable, family-sustaining jobs, adequate pay for our work, and affordable housing and health care.
Right now, Democrats at the federal and state level support us on these important issues, while MAGA Republicans oppose them all. These same extremist MAGA Republicans want to eliminate all abortion rights and are pushing for more guns to flood our streets.
We cannot afford to let these extremist Republicans win in November. We must stand up and vote to protect the freedoms we have won and keep pushing for more. We must elect John Fetterman to become our U.S. Senator and Josh Shapiro to become our Governor.
