Michael Pollack of March on Harrisburg talks about how the ultra-wealthy convert their private fortunes into public power by funding candidates. Publicly financed elections is the solution! @endpacorruption.bsky.social @fairdistrictspa.bsky.social #moneyinelection youtu.be/5sKjgQm8Wgw

Money in our elections is killing us. Public financing would ensure government is working for US!

Did you know that we don’t need to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court case to eliminate unlimited spending from our elections? 🧵1/6

Rank the Wings in Mechanicsburg was a success! Our current system lets candidates win with less than 50% of the vote. RCV lets voters rank candidates and ensures the winner has majority support. Come to our next "Rank the ___" event to learn more about the benefits of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).

Is there a better way to shake off the winter chill than voting on your favorite foods? 🍕🥣🥟 We hosted Ranked Choice Voting Day events across PA around 1/23 to highlight our push for HB123!

Why do we celebrate that it takes millions of dollars to run a campaign for public office? This is not democracy, it's oligarchy. We need to limit campaign contributions. #WeThePeople #Corruption #Pennsylvania

We don't let other professions take bribes, why do we allow our PA state legislators and public officials? #GiftBan #Pennsylvania

In PA, our legislators, despite being paid $113,000 or more to represent us full time, can hold side jobs in other industries that can have conflicts of interest with their committee assignments where they choose which laws get passed or get tossed. Does this sound like a good idea?

93% of Pennsylvanians view money in politics as a threat to our democracy. Ending political corruption is something WE ALL agree on.

Pennsylvanians are tired of the pay to play in Harrisburg. Lawmakers get wined and dined by lobbyists while we can barely make ends meet. This is DISRESPECTFUL to hardworking Pennsylvanians. Call our leaders and tell them they need to pass a Gift Ban and clean up corruption in their chambers.

Not only has unlimited campaign spending upended our democracy, it's unleashed widespread disbelief in our ability to reclaim it. To reverse this (justified) cynicism, we MUST abolish super PACs, finally curtailing the takeover of our elections by corporations & the ultra-rich. @lessig.bsky.social

BIG NEWS! In Pennsylvania, our movement for Ranked Choice Voting has taken a major step forward: House Bill 123 has been introduced in the PA House! This bill will allow local communities to decide if they want to use RCV. Tell your state rep and senator to vote YES on Ranked Choice Voting!

18 were arrested in PA’s capitol for demanding an end to political corruption. We were demanding PA lawmakers pass a ban on lobbyist gifts to legislators. Demand our leaders pass a Gift Ban and get Money out of Politics. ☎️ Matt Bradford: (610) 270 1150 ☎️ Joe Pittman: (724) 357 0151

For giving Tuesday, you can donate to get money out of Pennsylvania politics. March On Harrisburg is demanding state lawmakers pass a gift ban. (PA is 1 of only 3 states allowing these bribes from lobbyists) Donations support neighbors (like me) fight for you. We can win. www.mohpa.org/donate

Ranked Choice Voting allows voters to have their say without elaborate head games over “wasting” their vote. Let's make a system that works for the majority instead of allowing extreme candidates through with plurality votes. #RCV

Opinion | Ranked-choice voting worked in New York. It could also fix the presidential primary chaos.

Ryan Teague Beckwith: Presidential primary fields eventually have to be winnowed. Ranked-choice voting would solve two big problems facing Democrats.

When we have a state legislature that can legally take bribes from corporate lobbyists, we wind up with a system that works for those with $$ and not for the working class. Our democracy should not be pay to play.

ALICE households are those with income levels above the Federal Poverty Level but not enough to afford basic expenses where they live. 40% of households in PA were below the ALICE threshold in 2023.

If you're feeling hopeless & overwhelmed, doing one small thing is the best cure. Organizations like these need all kinds of support, from giving money to handing out water bottles to chanters. It will help you as much as you help them, I promise. @endpacorruption.bsky.social
