Public transit in PA is approaching an existential funding cliff next year: Pittsburgh Regional Transit will reduce or eliminate 95 bus and T lines if the state legislature doesn't fund public transit. We only have until the end of June to influence this decision. Come out and canvass to let people know what's happening and how they can act now to prevent these devastating cuts.

Join us outside the North Side T station to canvass the Pirates vs Rangers ballgame!

Join the Health Justice Committe on a relaxing and social evening at Schenley Plaza, shortly after the chapter's June General Meeting. 

We are always excited to fight for health justice but sometimes we need a break to sit back, relax, and talk with our fellow comrades. WYEP is hosting a free concert at Schenley Plaza for Pittsburgh with attractions, food, and more. We hope to see you out there for one of our social outings as we enjoy the nice summer weather!
