We the People Wednesdays Action for October 14

ACTION 1:

The November 3 elections will determine who controls Pennsylvania's governorship, House, and Senate. A potential Democratic trifecta would change the legislative landscape and could open new opportunities to advance policies that have stalled under divided government.  Pennsylvania also faces a multibillion-dollar structural budget deficit. Our next elected leaders will have to make consequential decisions about revenues, wages, public education, child care, transit, health care, and food assistance.  We are asking Governor Shapiro to work with the next General Assembly to advance an ambitious affordability agenda during the first 100 days of the new legislative session and through the FY 2027–28 budget.

Write to Governor Shapiro.  Modify this sample text:

Dear Governor Shapiro,

  Please advance an ambitious affordability agenda in your next term’s first 100 days.  Be a champion for <an issue you care about>.

Sincerely,

<your name and city>

Governor Josh Shapiro

ACTION 2:

On Sunday the Philadelphia Inquirer took the courageous step of publishing “The Case for Impeachment”, a series of essays by internal staff and outside experts illuminating how Donald Trump — an out-of-control president focused on his own profiteering while ignoring and trampling the rule of law — is a clear and present danger to the republic. Let’s express our appreciation for this bold exercise of the freedom of the press.

Write to thank the Inquirer’s editorial board.  Modify this sample text:

Thank you for defending our country by publishing essays on The Case for Impeachment.  

Sincerely,

<your name and zip code>
