We collected more than the required number of signatures from registered Pittsburgh voters, but due to court challenges and legal technicalities many of them cannot be counted. Despite all our work, Not on Our Dime will not be on the ballot on May 20. This is tough news.

Stay tuned for our plans for gatherings and next steps. So much love and admiration to all of you who have made this campaign something truly amazing. We have so much to build on.

I agree with this generally but I also do think it's a good idea to first ask like "what are people doing here that is good and needs help" and spending at least 15 minutes looking into that before starting something from scratch

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

BREAKING: We successfully submitted petitions to put a referendum on the ballot that would prevent the city of Pittsburgh from investing in or entering into business with any government actively committing genocide, apartheid, or ethnic cleansing. notonourdimepgh.com/2025/02/18/p...

Please donate if you can to help fund our campaign as we move into the next phase of our fight - defending our ballot access from any and all would be attacks to disenfranchise Pittsburgh's voters then pass this once it's on the ballot: notonourdimepgh.com/donate

Our community members have been very concerned about the ongoing assault on Gaza and the Palestinian Territories. Many are worried about the direction of democracy and foreign relations at the federal level.

The Not on Our Dime campaign is a culmination of democratic and anti-war values – we are using the power of direct democracy to take action where we can – in our home city of Pittsburgh.

Through just 7 weeks of intense campaigning in the cold and snow, hundreds of supporters have gathered and submitted over 21,300 signatures, well above the necessary threshold of 12,459 signatures.

So push for a handful more signatures if you can, go out for one more canvass shift if you can, and no matter what - we need you to turn in whatever you've got!

Are you able to help gather more signatures tomorrow? Below are a few specific canvasses planned this weekend that need more volunteers, or you can click here for the full list. notonourdimepgh.com/events/

Our goals would be daunting if we weren't certain there are hundreds of supporters with petitions in their hands trying to gather signatures that we just haven't gotten back yet. But we do, and we recall all we've accomplished together thus far.

We know the potential collective power for what we can accomplish in one more day if each and every supporter reading this decides to work at this however they can for another day.

We're closing in on an astounding 17,000 signatures collected, with many more signed up to canvass tonight and tomorrow. We need 6,000 more to have a really strong chance to get on the ballot and withstand legal attacks from our opponents who are committed to funding genocide.

We know it’s possible because yinz turned in over 6,000 between canvassers blanketing the city and hundreds of volunteers turning in their petitions on the last Sunday! Let’s do it again!

Our favorite way for you to turn in your signatures? Sign up for one more canvass shift and come out to gather more signatures and turn in your sheets while you're there. notonourdimepgh.com/events/

Absolutely can't make either of those options work? Fill out this form and one of our supporters will be in touch ASAP to find a way to get you. airtable.com/appRrfTsxHLV...
