MARCH FROM LANCASTER TO HARRISBURG

The March to End PA Corruption: Lancaster to Harrisburg!

Join us for our FIFTH multi-day March On Harrisburg! We are marching 35 miles from Lancaster to Harrisburg this September to demand our Senators BAN DARK MONEY!

We DEMAND: BAN DARK MONEY AND END PA CORRUPTION!

After we march from September 13th-15th, we will be in the State Capitol on September 16th and 17th waging nonviolent direct action to hold our legislators accountable and push our Dark Money Bill over the finish line. We're giving them no choice but to publicly show what side they're on: the side of the corporate interests and lobbyists, or the side of Pennsylvanians who are sick and tired of our state's blatant corruption and legal bribery.
