Hi John ,  

As we all prepare to wind down for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we're taking a moment to reflect on what we're grateful for.

Good health? Family? Food?
Whatever it is, we hope you also take a moment to feel the gratitude this holiday.

"If 'lack' is the root of injustice, then gratitude is at the root of justice."
- Governor John Pattison 

We wish our communities a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy feelings about Pennsylvania. Happy feelings about Pennsylvania voters. You did the thing. You showed up. You used your voice. And that matters

As we head into this holiday season, remember what John Lewis taught us: the vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent we have. Pennsylvania proved that change happens at the ballot box.

So when you’re gathered around the table, don’t be afraid of a little good trouble. Have the tough conversations. Speak your truth. Push for the justice, equity, and future you believe in. Just make sure you get your plate first before anything starts flying.

PA showed up. PA showed out. And we’re not done yet.

This week, we break down the 2025 election results and what they reveal about the current political moment, locally and nationally.

We explore:
-Record-breaking turnout across Pennsylvania counties

-Mississippi flipping seats and breaking GOP supermajority

-California’s redistricting shift

-Why voters mobilized in such unprecedented numbers

New episodes every other Thursday.
Watch it on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts (Apple, Spotify, etc.)

Everything we do, from hosting town halls and producing podcasts to knocking on doors, expands Pennsylvania's electorate by engaging Pennsylvanians to be civically involved and encouraging them to turn out to vote twice a year, none of it would be possible without you. 

From @newpennsylvania

Wishing everyone a warm holiday this week.

Here's a fun fact for your Thanksgiving table:

"The holiday bird commonly eaten today is typically American in a way many people don't suspect—it's descended from immigrants."

We’re #grateful for the cultures we enjoy in the United States that have been shaped by immigration.

"After six congressional Democrats released a video advising members of the U.S. military and national security community to “refuse illegal orders,” President Donald Trump said the lawmakers should be tried in court for “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” But legal experts told us this was not sedition and that the legislators were restating the law that only lawful orders must be followed."
