This year we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take a huge step toward closing Pennsylvania’s $4.6 billion adequacy gap that harms children and puts at risk the future prosperity of the commonwealth.

• The trial for Pennsylvania’s historic school funding lawsuit is coming to a close and all eyes are on school funding in Harrisburg and in every corner of the commonwealth.  
• Governor Wolf has proposed a historic $1.75 billion increase in funding for public education.
• The state is sitting on a $6 billion surplus and billions more in unspent cash.

Below, find a menu of different resources that we hope can be useful for in advocacy for the funding PA students need and deserve. Our team at Ed Voters is ready to support you every step of the way.
