The Biden–Harris Record

When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, our country faced unprecedented crises—a raging pandemic, economic crisis, climate crisis, and racial injustice. The President and Vice President ran for office on the promise to move quickly to tackle these crises head-on and deliver results for working families. That’s what the Biden-Harris Administration has done.

MAFlipPA

Living in the Massachusetts “blue bubble,” it’s easy to feel there’s little you can do to protect our democracy from a rapidly increasing number of far-right attacks. But what if you look further afield? Pennsylvania, the closest big (19 electoral votes) swing state to Massachusetts needs not only our financial contributions, but our time, talents, and political activism. By working to elect Democrats not only at the Congressional level, but at the gubernatorial, legislative, and county level, we help protect voting rights and the vote counting process against right-wing attack in this critical swing state.

We work remotely and in-state to keep Pennsylvania blue. Our activists conduct letter and postcard campaigns, text and phone bank, fund print, radio, and digital ads, and provide logistical support for groups working in the rural, red areas we need to win in 2023 and 2024.
