 Thank you to all who have supported local candidates during this busy time. This is just a reminder that we are making a big push to Get Out the Vote this Friday 4/28 at Cravings from 4-6 pm. All are welcome to drop by or get in touch to learn how to get involved in local campaigns. Also, please join us at the People's Climate March in Butler, PA Saturday from 11 am to 1:30 pm. And I wanted to share some words from Mitch Kates, Political Director of the State Party: With only a few short weeks to go until the Primary Election (Tuesday, May 16th) we continue our Vote Local Pa campaign for our endorsed Democratic statewide slate as we share information about the Superior Court of Pennsylvania- aka "the busiest state appellate court in the country." Please take the time to click on this link: http://www.padems.com/superior-court/ and then share the information. The more we educate the voters, the higher likelihood we have of motivating our base to come out to vote in this most important Election Cycle. Thank you for all you do to help get Democrats elected. See you out there, Judy |

APR 29: Peoples' Climate March - Butler, PA
Sat Apr 29th 10:00am - 1:00pm
Diamond Park, Butler, PA, USA map
This march and rally will highlight the planks of the national Peoples' Climate March:
Directly and rapidly reduce greenhouse gas and toxic pollution to successfully combat climate change and improve public health
Mandate a transition to an equitable and sustainable New Energy and Economic Future that limits the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels
Provide a Just Transition for communities and workers negatively impacted by the shift to a New Energy and Economic Future that includes targeted economic opportunity and provides stable income, health care, and education
Demand that every job pays a wage of at least $15 an hour, protects workers, and provides a good standard of living, pathways out of poverty, and a right to organize
Ensure that investments are targeted to create pathways for low-income people and people of color to access good jobs and improve the lives of communities of color, indigenous peoples, low-income people, small farmers, women, and workers.
Make bold investments in the resilience of states, cities, tribes, and communities that are threatened by climate change; including massive investments in infrastructure systems from water, transportation, and solid waste to the electrical grid and safe, green building and increasing energy efficiency that will also create millions of jobs in the public and private sector
Reinvest in a domestic industrial base that drives towards an equitable and sustainable New Energy and Economic Future, and fight back against the corporate trade-induced global race to the bottom
Market- and policy-based mechanisms must protect human rights and critical, native ecosystems and reduce pollution at source
