Pittsburgh Women for Democracy is a coalition of engaged citizens working to foster an inclusive, informed, and active community—one that advances democracy, equity, and justice.
When we say “No Kings” we are also saying “Yes People.” That means we need YOU in this movement—your gifts, your talents, your ideas and your energy have a home here. Make today the day you join us. On March 28th and every day we say No to Kings and Yes to the People!
A statement from Pittsburgh Women for Democracy on John Fetterman's recent statements about his voters and (previous) supporters. And some reminders from the ghost of Fetterman past.
Casey Means has said several times that physicians are overburdened. A good way to reduce physician burden is to ensure that people aren't senselessly contracting preventable infectious diseases like measles and whooping cough.
Yesterday marked four years since Putin’s brutal, illegal invasion of Ukraine. The courage of Ukrainians — and of the Ukrainian-American community here at home — stays with me always. We must end this war.
We recently supported an excellent event brought to Pittsburgh by @1hoodpower.bsky.social —Empire City Live. After the on-stage conversation, community members broke into small groups to reflect and connect. We led one of these sessions focused on how parents are meeting this moment.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.
Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.
AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️
#ICEoutforgood #ice #protest in #Pittsburgh #SouthSide today. Peaceful. Flowers for the slain were laid on the sign in front of an ICE office building but no confrontation because no one around!
Pittsburgh Women for Democracy recommends HD42 Democratic Committee members nominate Alliyson Feldmann for PA at this Saturday's nominating convention. If you know a committee member, in Mt. Lebanon, USC, Baldwin Twp., Castle Shannon and/or Dormont, encourage them to vote Alliyson this Saturday.
Aftyn Behn ran one of the most inspiring campaigns of this cycle. It’s easy to be inspired by a candidate who’s expected to win; it’s another thing entirely to watch someone fight for a community even when the odds are long. Thank you for all that you sparked with your campaign!
We stand with @deluzio.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov and the other members of congress who made a video encouraging our active duty military, and intelligence community members to refuse to follow any illegal orders. Spreading that message is not sedition, it’s patriotism in action.
