Jeff Yass is one of the largest political donors in the country & the richest man in PA who uses his money to sway legislators into adopting his anti-working people agenda!
It’s time for elected officials to pick a side: The people or Jeff Yass.

Environmental racism is means Flint has not had clean drinking water for SEVEN YEARS.
7 Years.
Flint, MI has been without clean water for 7 years.
The effects of the water crisis will be felt for generations.
And the worst part of it all...
Flint is not the only city with toxic water.
It is one of the hundreds of cities across the country with bad water.

Tyre Nichols, who had Crohn’s disease, should be alive.
Half of people killed by police have a disability. 55% of Black disabled men are arrested by 28 yrs old. 2/3 of our prison population are disabled.
Racism & ableism are woven into the system.
