We applaud Governor Josh Shapiro & Val Arkoosh for taking critical steps to address mental health in PA. We urge leaders to center mental health strategies to address challenges before they escalate—through prevention efforts in schools, ECE programs, & community-based supports.

$2.3 trillion in proposed Medicaid cuts would impact health care for millions, including children, people with disabilities, and older adults, reducing access to care and increasing costs. We must speak up to protect Medicaid and ensure health care remains accessible.

No child should suffer from lead poisoning—it’s entirely preventable. Our kids deserve better. #PALeadFree

Lead poisoning is preventable, but only if we act. It’s time to invest in removing toxic lead paint from homes across PA. #PALeadFree

Guaranteeing lead testing for every child must be a top priority. #PALeadFree is leading the way to protect kids from toxic exposure.

Lead exposure often starts in older rental homes. Requiring municipalities to certify older properties as lead-safe is a critical step forward. #PALeadFree
