Take Action

You have the power

We are focusing on procedural rules as the first path toward good governance in Pennsylvania. In other states, every bill is guaranteed a hearing in committee, or when a bill passes out of committee, it is guaranteed debate and a vote on the chamber floor.

As one person, you may feel your influence is limited in the effort to Fix Harrisburg. We know that when you talk to family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues about this dysfunction, our collective awareness keeps our State Representatives and Senators aligned with the will of the people.

What you can do

When government processes are complex or difficult to navigate, as the PA General Assembly is, residents begin to feel as if we don't have the power to push for changes beyond voting. However, that totally changes when more people understand the governance process, and how easy some aspects are to change.

Know before you vote

Fair Districts PA has asked every candidate for the General Assembly about their views on Redistricting and Changing the rules to be more fair.
