MarchOnHarrisburg was born in a D.C jail cell for the thousand-plus protesters that had been arrested at the Capitol building with Democracy Spring, a nonpartisan movement to get big money out of politics in the spring of 2016 that began with a 140-mile march from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. A few of our founders met along the march and discussed creating a democracy movement focused on passing pro-democracy, anti-corruption laws at the state level. Rabbi Michael Pollack, Executive Director of MoH, recruited other Pennsylvanians in that warehouse and made each of them commit to taking the fight for democracy and against corruption to the state level.

MoH continued forming throughout 2016, and we went into action in 2017 with our main three tactics: Lobbying, marching, and nonviolent civil disobedience. Over the last five years, we have marched 298 miles, lobbied almost all of our 253 State Legislators many times, conducted over 30 nonviolent direct actions, organized a statewide pro-democracy movement, and engaged in moral fusion organizing through our leadership in the Poor People's Campaign, Pennsylvania Action on Climate, and other coalitions/campaigns. We helped fully pass Vote By Mail in 2019, and we have forced five House and Senate committee hearings on Gerrymandering, moved the Gift Ban out of its House committee twice, and moved Open Primaries through the full Senate.

Check out our blog and our media coverage for more information on what we have been up to!

MarchOnHarrisburg employs two full-time organizers, and is governed by a Board consisting of founding members.
