PA Budget Day of Action
June 4, 2019 @ 7:00 am - 7:00 pm
Just Harvest and other allies in the PA’s Choice campaign will be coming from across Pennsylvania to the Capitol to call on legislators to pass a responsible 2019-2020 budget. We need our government to invest in education, human services, and environmental protection, and raise the wage for hardworking Pennsylvanians.
We hope you can join us to make sure they get the message!
