The Pennsylvania Working Families Party is proud to release our full voter guide for the November 3rd general election. This is, by far, our largest slate of endorsed candidates ever. Up and down the ballot, we have the chance to elect champions for working people.

We must deliver a Democratic trifecta by holding the majority in the Pennsylvania House and winning the Pennsylvania Senate. This is critical to deliver results on long-overdue policies, like a higher minimum wage and taxing billionaires.

The machine is dead. WFP swept our six competitive races across PA yesterday. We are building a true party for the working class. ✅ PA-03: Chris Rabb ✅ PA-07: Bob Brooks ✅ HD-195: Sierra McNeil ✅ HD-22: Ce-Ce Gerlach ✅ HD-45: Brittany Bloam ✅ HD-200: Chris Johnson

Rep. Rabb is one of the longest serving progressives in Harrisburg where he has taken on Republicans and the billionaire class to improve the lives of working people. He has always advocated for a people-first agenda, and that’s exactly the type of experience we need right now.

John Fetterman is the biggest cheerleader for Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Fetterman was the ONLY Democrat who refused to sign a letter demanding answers after Trump’s administration bombed a school and killed over 150 people, mostly children. We deserve better.

We're proud to endorse Bob Brooks for Congress in PA-07. Bob spent 20 years as a firefighter & now serves as president of his union. Bob is the perfect example of a person we should be sending to D.C. because it’s time to elect real working-class leadership to Congress.

We deserve representatives who come from the working class & will stand up for the working class. That’s what Bob has done for his entire life. In Congress, he’ll raise the minimum wage, tax billionaires to fund programs that benefit workers, and get big money out of politics.

John Fetterman admits that he will approve more ICE funding. This is a disgrace. Text “ICE OUT” to 25463 to call Fetterman’s office and tell him to VOTE NO!

500,000 Pennsylvanians are about to see their healthcare premiums rise because of the Republican budget bill he supported. People across Pennsylvania did not put time, money, and energy into his campaign just to elect someone who votes against our interests. Let's defeat Fetterman together.

It's DAY 12 of our national, open-ended ULP strike. Thousands of baristas in over 65 cities are on strike demanding higher wages, better hours, and an end to union-busting. And we're just getting started 🔥

Here’s how you can stand with Starbucks workers today - 🔥 Shop local for your coffee — support small businesses (and tag @PAWorkingFamilies!) 🔥 Talk with your friends and neighbors about why workers are striking. 🔥 Share messages of encouragement using #NoContractNoCoffee to boost worker voices.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks. This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing. #NoContractNoCoffee

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org

Trucks are still at a standstill at the York distribution center, with at least one recently turning around. Starbucks could end this RIGHT NOW by finalizing fair union contracts and putting an end to union-busting! #NoContractNoCoffee

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

We strongly support the nurses at UPMC Magee standing up & fighting for the working conditions they deserve. UPMC needs to stop the union-busting and put its workers and patients first.

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov

I proudly stand with the nearly 1000 nurses at UPMC Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh in their fight for patient care and safe staffing. Rather than put nurses and patients first, UPMC has run a vicious anti-union campaign. UPMC must get serious and respect its workers.

Our members head back to work on Monday & welcome students back to school on 8/25. A strike is always a last resort; after all, we're parents of Philly school students, too. The 1-year extension of our last CBA gave the School District ample notice of members' needs. Where's the urgency, SDP?

Last month, Mayor Cherelle Parker's city budget gave tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations in Philly. Now, she claims there's no money left for striking city workers to make a living wage. Text DC33 to 30403 to contact the Mayor's office & tell her to give AFSCME DC 33 workers a fair contract.
