The Organization -
We are Pennsylvania Stands Up. We are joining forces because we are
aligned in our conviction that there's a massive unorganized base

years; to both deepen and scale our work to build people power
across Pennsylvania, especially in small cities, towns, and rural
areas, while working collaboratively with a broader alignment of
allied organizations. We're eager to consolidate lessons from the
past three years-to win elections, win issue campaigns, and win
power for everyday working people in our state.
We are an independent political organization by and for the many.
We organize Black, brown, and white working people across
Pennsylvania's cities, towns, and rural areas. Our chapters in
Lehigh, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Cumberland, Dauphin, York,
Berks, and Philadelphia counties build grassroots leadership, fight
on our issues, and win elections. Together, we are building the
durable political infrastructure necessary to win governing power
and enact bold, redistributive measures for the common good.
