We were stoked to see nearly 100 people at our town hall last night, share our vision for a multi-stakeholder daily news co-op, and hear what you all need in one for the future of journalism in Pittsburgh. The desire for local, representative news we all own was clear! OurPaperNow.org

Dozens of seated town hall attendees sit at 1Hood's Blaxk Box Theater Wednesday night. Most are looking off to the left of the frame.

We must make it clear to every Member of Congress that their constituents don't want to pay for Trump's wholly unnecessary carnage in Iran. Email your elected officials and urge them not to give Trump more funds to prolong this illegal war.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran

Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already taken the lives of US servicemembers and at least 1,000 Iranian civilians. It has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes,...

Black people have the right to demand justice for the death of a loved one without facing police repression and brutality. The police response to the #Justice4TJ march is unnecessary and unjust. People in grief should be met with care not guns.

President Trump fully acknowledging that this is a “war” and that American lives “may be lost.” All done against our Constitution, against the will of the American people, and without Congress’ approval.

Did you know 1.5 million Pennsylvanians are eligible to vote but are still not registered to vote? The SAVE America Act stops all 3rd party voter registration and registration drives while creating barriers to the ballot box. This is voter suppression! #stopthesaveact

🌹This Valentine’s Day, we’re showing love to the NEW Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit! 🌹 We’re in Wilkes-Barre at The Burnt Norton, handing out roses to thank working PA families—and to celebrate this NEW tax credit, created to give 1.1M Pennsylvania families a refund on their state taxes.

Cute pink and red valentine’s day themed flyer. Text reads: “We’re showing love to the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit! This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating the new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, created to help families afford the basics. The WPTC is a people-first tax policy that lowers costs for working families and affirms a broader commitment to building a more just tax system—one that asks more of those who have benefited the most and invests in the people who make Pennsylvania work. It’s new, so we’re spreading the word! Learn more and see if you qualify here.” We LOVE when working people get a break. The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) was passed last year as part of the 2025–26 PA state budget! It provides up to $805 for eligible working individuals and families starting this year. It’s a state-level credit that piggybacks on the federal Earned Income Tax Credit to give 1.1 million Pennsylvania families a refund on their state taxes. Times have been tough and costs are rising. The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit can provide some relief.”
