Pennsylvania Voice

About Pennsylvania Voice:

Established in 2010, Pennsylvania Voice is the 501c(3) table of over 55 state and local based organizations working year round to create a more accessible, inclusive, and representative democracy by amplifying the voices, leadership, and expertise of communities that have historically experienced deliberate barriers to civic participation. Our partnership is grounded in the belief that a fair and just society will be achieved through collective power; democracy requires full participation and equitable and reflective representation; and the pathway to power in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania must include Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and AAPI communities.

Together, we win shared policy and civic engagement victories to build long-term power.

A team of experienced organizers/strategists staff Pennsylvania Voice. We coordinate, support, convene, and co-create with a diverse community of statewide and local leaders, each representing distinct organizations around three program areas:

❏ Civic Engagement: Year-round integrated voter engagement campaigns that increase voting, voter registration, and participation in civic life among all Pennsylvanians and specifically Black, Indigenous and communities of color

❏ Voting Rights and Access: Modernizing elections to make voting more convenient and

fully accessible to all

❏ Reflective Democracy: Investment in community leadership and governance that is accountable to community interest and needs

An explicit commitment to racial equity frames our partnership, our programs, and our culture.
