In odd-numbered years, many PA voters don't vote their entire ballot (called "roll-off"). But thanks to— • @onepennsylvania.bsky.social • @maketheroadpa.bsky.social • @apipennsylvania.bsky.social —and other orgs in @paworkingfamilies.bsky.social, roll-off went from 30% to a record-low 2%. ❤️‍🔥
Screenshot of a recent piece published in Convergence Magazine.

At the top is the logo of Convergence (a black-and-white "C" composed of line segments converging towards a common center) and the name in bold, all-caps ("CONVERGENCE").

Below is a creative, colorful graphic showing a man from a prior century in a wig weaing a wide-brim hat; added to the photo are sunglasses and a boom microphone. The text of the screenshot include the following:

Category: "Electoral Strategy"

Heading: "How We Made a State Supreme Court Campaign Cool"
Byline: "Jeffrey Lichtenstein"
Date: "April 28, 2026"

Subhead: "A coalition of organizations in Pennsylvania did the impossible and radically expanded the amount of voters engaged in a critical, but easily ignored, State Supreme Court race."

🗣️FUND CARE, NOT ICE! Trump is pushing $70 billion into ICE and Border Patrol while families are struggling to afford health care, groceries, gas, and utilities. ICE is a death machine. This bill hands them another blank check to expand harm in our communities. secure.ngpvan.com/vAshlaei30eb...

It's the law".A quote on an orange-yellow background from Alex Domingos, Advocacy and Policy Strategist, that says, "We soundly reject the binary of good immigrants vs. bad immigrants.
