Actions

We continue to organize and demand for fair funding in Pennsylvania. We come together with our weekly action to demand that Pennsylvania fully and fairly funds public education—for every student, in every zip code. By signing up, you’re joining hundreds of others across Pennsylvania to raise your voice, share your power, and keep the pressure on.

Join our Weekly Fair Funding Action Series!

By signing up for our action alerts, you will be given notification via email, text and social media of quick actions that you can take!

Together, we show our lawmakers that people of faith and moral conscience are watching—and we won’t stop until every child gets the education they deserve.

Take Action. Stay Connected. Build Power
