Take the 2025 Voter Pledge
Voting is one of the most powerful forms of self-expression and one of the most effective ways to protect the things we care about. When we commit to showing up at the polls, we’re not just casting a ballot; we’re speaking up for our communities, our families, and our futures. From public school funding, to LGBTQ+ rights, clean air and water, and fair elections, the decisions being made in 2025 will directly impact our everyday lives. In many years, local elections are often decided by just a handful of votes. Make a pledge and a plan to vote today!

Learn What’s on the Ballot—Especially in Our Courts
You may not see their names in headlines, but Pennsylvania’s judges shape our daily lives. From school funding, to reproductive rights, election integrity, and environmental protections, the outcomes of court cases often rely on the judges we elect. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court hears high-stakes cases, including:
-
Redistricting and gerrymandering challenges
-
Mail-in voting and election law disputes
-
Constitutional questions and criminal appeals
Many of the most impactful rulings begin in Pennsylvania’s lower courts, including recent decisions on public school funding and access to reproductive care. These judges handle the cases that directly affect our neighborhoods, our schools, and our rights. In 2025, many of our judges are on the ballot as judicial retention ballot questions. Take a few minutes to learn about why these questions matter.
