Through its research, policy development, and educational work, the Pennsylvania Policy Center creates the tools political officials, opinion leaders, grassroots organizations, and the people of Pennsylvania need to expand our vibrant democracy, secure our freedom, and seek economic justice in Pennsylvania. Our work draws on a close connection to Pennsylvanians in every corner of the state, who tell us the problems they face, and robust and credible public policy research and analysis that identifies the sources of these problems and proposes solutions. These tools enable Pennsylvanians in and out of government to learn, make their voices heard, and create public policies that reflect their ideals and serve their interests.
Pennsylvania Policy Center is the state affiliate of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
