Barbara Woodmansee & Martha Fleischer, AAUW York Branch
Our Health, Our Future, Our Lobby Day was held November 18 at the State Capitol in Harrisburg. AAUW PA was part of the statewide movement that brought together advocates, healthcare providers, and community members to rally for a Pennsylvania that puts people’s health and futures first.
The AAUW York Branch joined 16 organizations that attended this important day of advocacy. Our intentions were to show that the health and future of Pennsylvania cannot be ignored.
You, too, can “Take Action” by writing and sending postcards to your legislators. Tell them that they need to protect our economic security through fair legislation, like the Family Care Act (HB200, SB906), which will create a state-wide paid family leave program and is budget neutral. Or urge the PA Senate to take up and pass the Protecting Insurance Coverage for Individuals with Pre-Existing Conditions (SB 50), which will safeguard health care coverage and control costs, regardless of federal actions, for every resident of Pennsylvania.
