via communityforumforthenextgovernor.wordpress In Pennsylvania, and especially in Philadelphia, elected leaders should understand, respond to and advocate for policies that create social and economic justice for all. Consistently the needs of Philadelphia as a large urban center, and the needs of the people who live here have not been a priority in Harrisburg. We are stuck with a political system that increasingly favors the needs of the 1% and often ignores the needs of the rest of us. Whether it’s the unwillingness to recognize the freedom for everyone to marry the person they love, increasing cutbacks in public assistance benefits, or refusal to expand Medicaid, our communities have been deeply affected by the policies coming out of Harrisburg and we have a tremendous stake in influencing the next administration. That’s why we are joining together to ensure a greater range of community issues is raised in the upcoming gubernatorial race. More than 60 groups convened to get 2014 gubernatorial candidates on record on key issues that affect our communities.
