Community Powered Lobbying

  • Harrisburg Capitol Building North 3rd Street Harrisburg, PA United States (map)

In October 2019, we helped to pass the first bill on our legislative agenda - no-excuse absentee ballots, which was part of the first electoral reform in 80 years! One month later, another bill on our legislative agenda, the #GiftBan, passed out of House State Government Committee is headed to the House floor for a vote.

Join MoH to lobby members of the State Government Committee to ensure the most comprehensive bill possible is passed! In January, we will shift our attention to lobbying Senate leadership and members of the Senate State Government Committee!

Every day there are corporate lobbyists in OUR Capitol lobbying on behalf of corporate interests and the 1%. Join us to lobby for pro-democracy, anti-corruption legislation so that every community in Pennsylvania has a voice in The People's House.

For more information on our legislative goals, legislative criteria, and legislative process visit: www.mohpa.org/legislative-goals.

///////////////////////////// Why Do We Lobby? /////////////////////////////
Lobbying breaks down the barriers of intimidation between us and our elected representatives. When we lobby, we reclaim power in our democracy often wielded only by donors and high-priced lobbyists.

First-time lobbyists are encouraged to come! We'll train you and pair you with an experienced MarchOnHarrisburg volunteer to meet with legislators and encourage legislators to cosponsor our bills.

/////////////////////////////////// LOGISITICS /////////////////////////////////////
- Meet us in the cafeteria at 8:45 a.m every day. We'll review meeting for the day.
- End time is between noon- 2 P.M. If you need to leave early or arrive late, that is okay! Just let us know in the form.
