Knocking on doors is the most effective tool we have to elect endorsed candidates who will co-govern with us and look out for working peoples’ interests. Candidates like Brad Chambers, who’s running to be the Representative for PA’s 41st district.

In Lancaster County, most of us believe voters should pick our leaders, but this regime is trying to keep people from voting based on our races, backgrounds and genders so that they can control the outcome of our elections and ensure they win.

Over the image is text which reads: "On monday 8/17, Lancaster DA Heather Adams - whose position is up for election next year - claimed that they have seen an increase in crime by undocumented people. We call BS. Where's the evidence? If anything undocumented people are less likely to commit crimes."A black and white photo of a government building, with a sign that says "Refugees Welcome." On top of the photo is text which reads: "Lancaster is known as the 'Refugee Capitol of the US.' Partnering with ICE goes agains our values.

Two and a half years had passed since the Emancipation Proclamation was signed when the troops arrived. Artwork: Aaron Douglass."A poster with an image of birds being freed from a cage, and text which reads: "The issue of slavery divided the country in the decades leading up to the Civil War. But by September 1862. President Abraham Lincoln made abolition a formal policy of the US government when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, in which he declared that enslaved individuals in states or areas of "rebellion against the United States" would be free on January 1, 1863. Union forces proceeded through the South, bringing the message of emancipation and the authority to enforce the legislation through military force."A poster with an image of the Juneteenth flag on the top right, and text which reads: "Many of these freedom fighters joined the US Army and Navy, serving as United States Colored Troops for the rest of the Civil War. Although the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in December 1865 eventually ended slavery throughout the country, Juneteenth commemorates the celebration of the end of slavery in the Confederacy."
