When we say “No Kings” we are also saying “Yes People.” That means we need YOU in this movement—your gifts, your talents, your ideas and your energy have a home here. Make today the day you join us. On March 28th and every day we say No to Kings and Yes to the People!

A statement from Pittsburgh Women for Democracy on John Fetterman's recent statements about his voters and (previous) supporters. And some reminders from the ghost of Fetterman past.

Casey Means has said several times that physicians are overburdened. A good way to reduce physician burden is to ensure that people aren't senselessly contracting preventable infectious diseases like measles and whooping cough.

Yesterday marked four years since Putin’s brutal, illegal invasion of Ukraine.    The courage of Ukrainians — and of the Ukrainian-American community here at home — stays with me always.   We must end this war.

We recently supported an excellent event brought to Pittsburgh by @1hoodpower.bsky.social —Empire City Live. After the on-stage conversation, community members broke into small groups to reflect and connect. We led one of these sessions focused on how parents are meeting this moment.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Aftyn Behn ran one of the most inspiring campaigns of this cycle. It’s easy to be inspired by a candidate who’s expected to win; it’s another thing entirely to watch someone fight for a community even when the odds are long. Thank you for all that you sparked with your campaign!

A March 14 Executive Order dismantles IMLS, the only federal agency funding libraries. The order halts future funding and mandates the agencies cut services and staff to the legal minimum. If you don't have a library card, now would be a good time to get one! 📸 "Carnegie Free Library" by PunkToad

On March 14th, Trump signed an Executive Order that dismantles and functionally eliminates the IMLS, the only federal agency that funds library services. Let us introduce you to our most famous library: The Library of Congress. Did you know that it adds some 10,000 items to its collections daily?
An image of the Library of Congress is overlaid with the text Love your library, national library week april 6-12, 2025. There is an american flag flying from the roof of the library. A wordmark at the bottom of the image reads Pittsburgh Women for Democracy.
