Pennsylvania Policy Center addresses a range of pressing issues through innovative public policy initiatives aimed at fostering equity, sustainability, and the ability of all Pennsylvanians to thrive.

Here, you can learn about the issues we focus on, including:

The Pennsylvania Budget

We need a People’s Budget that helps us all thrive, not just survive.

Education

Anything but equitable and adequate funding is unconstitutional.

Health Care

Pennsylvania needs affordable and quality health care for all.

Infrastructure

We need a strong infrastructure for the sake of our safety and our economy.

Jobs and the PA Economy

The Commonwealth would thrive with an economy that works for all of us.

Fair Tax System

Corporations and the ultra-rich need to pay their fair share.

Democracy and Voting

Voting needs to be easy and secure to keep our democracy strong.

Immigration

Immigrants of any status bring value to our state.

Environment

Clean air and water, and fighting climate change, are critical to the health of our commonwealth.
