PA Voice coordinates the electoral and issue work of c3 organization around the state. The Penn ACTION Education Fund, our c3 arm, is a member of the group. Because we are c3 organizations, and can receive tax deductible contributions, our electoral work consist in non-partisan efforts to turn out voters.
On Tuesday, October 26, Penn ACTION coordinated a joint phone bank that included, in addition to ourselves, PennPIRG, PA Immigration and Citizenship Coalition, Project HOME, Action United, Conservation Voters, and Working America.
We cam together at the office of Solutions for Progress to eccourage under-represented voters in Philadelphia and around the state to turn out to vote. That’s why we were joined by anti-poverty groups, women’s groups, advocates for immigrants, social services providers, environmentalists, public interest advocates – and even Project HOME’s Vote for Homes Program in which homeless men and women take the time to come to our office to phonebank their neighbors!
Our effort were coordinated by Penn ACTION staffer Hannah Miller.
