Donate on #GivingTuesday to Put People First! PA’s member-led, staff-free work!
Did you know? Put People First! PA is the only organization in Pennsylvania that is led by people who are on or unfairly excluded from Medicaid. We are also member-led and staff-free, meaning that all of our resources go directly into building leadership and political independence among Pennsylvania’s 13 million people across 67 counties. We’re 13 years old this year and continuing our fight for Healthcare As a Human Right – which unites the poor and dispossessed working class across all lines of division, including the urban and rural divide.
Our funds go toward things like our Annual Membership Assembly (this year’s was the largest ever!); helping leaders through periods of crisis with Community Care Funds; travel and transport to build our regional Healthcare Rights Committees; sending delegations across the country and internationally for schools, conferences and exchanges; and of course the everyday costs of our organizing – Zoom lines, printing, food, childcare, and more! There are multiple ways to contribute:
- Support one or more of our brave leaders on their MightyCause group fundraiser page
- Go traditional through the Put People First! PA website.
- On the apps? Donate through Venmo @UWATreasurer, write Put People First! PA in the note
We’ve just completed another powerful year of organizing in Pennsylvania and helping to lead the national Nonviolent Medicaid Army in 12 states, and expanding our Medicaid Cut-offs Organizing Drive with a new toolkit to assert our welfare rights in the face of SNAP cuts and work requirements. As the economic crisis deepens and political conditions shift, there are significant dangers but also important opportunities. Our work to identify, develop and unite leaders in the movement to end poverty led by the poor is more necessary than ever.
