Attend Rep Rozzi’s Listening Tour and Demand Better for PA
Join PA citizens this week to make your voice heard!
PA House Speaker Mark Rozzi recently announced a statewide listening tour to invite public comment on how to close the partisan divide and create a more bipartisan legislative process in Harrisburg. Per Speaker Rozzi, these meetings are to “share ideas to heal the divides in Harrisburg, create a fair set of House rules, and create a plan to get survivors of childhood sexual assault the justice and truth that they so desperately deserve.”
Two of these meetings will take place THIS WEEK in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia:
Wednesday, January 25th, 6 pm: Simmons Auditorium in the Jared L. Cohon University Center of Carnegie Mellon University, 5032 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh
(Tentatively) Friday, January 27th, 6 pm: Cardinal John P. Foley Campus Center of St. Joseph's University, 5600 City Ave., Philadelphia
February 2nd, 6 pm: Wilkes Barre (exact location TBD)
More information about all events can be found here.
Please consider attending a meeting and offering remarks as a concerned citizen.

Addressing partisan gridlock is critical to a more productive legislative session. Issues we care about, including those with bipartisan support, will not be brought to the floor without substantive changes to the legislative rules.
