Social Justice Actions Near Pittsburgh: May 22, 2025 ** New Feature

May 24, 2025 by

Opening note – I made a list of groups like Indivisible and Progress. It is at the end of the post. I will update as time goes by. And feel free to make a suggestion pghlesbian @ gmail.

Welcome to our latest feature! Note to self – these posts have consistently been in the top ten most read during May.

To receive this and all of our posts directly to your in box, subscribe to the blog.

There’s so much going on that sometimes it feels overwhelming to find the details, sift through the logistics, roll up your sleeves and get involved. Volunteers with local Indivisible chapters and other froups work regularly to compile and distribute each week as do other organizers. I am not identifying those folx by name to give them some privacy. But this is the work of many other people.

I want to help so I offered to post that content on my blog every Wednes Thursday. I will also add events from other sources (and note the source.) I removed the candidate canvassing and events that may not benefit from being listed here. Fundraisers will not be included unless they are attached to an event or action.

If you would like to get on the weekly email list directly from Indivisible, reach out to me and I’ll put you in touch. I expect this will morph beyond Indivisible alone and likely to regional events.

You may not agree with content or how I make decisions about content. I encourage you – with all sincerity – to create your own spaces to share the information you find relevant. That could be your socials, your own website, Slack, Signal, email lists, or flyering.

I am going to share this post on my social media accounts. My Instagram and Facebook following are growing so quickly that I cannot keep up with moderation (this is a one person shop) so there will be haters on those forums. People yell at me all of the time about this, but honestly – it is the price we pay to use those platforms.

So a huge thanks to Indivisible for their work. Equally huge thanks to the everyday neighbors doing everyday actions to save all of us. This is my small contribution to the work.

This list is meant to be helpful, not exhaustive nor official. Just trying to help folx find information.

Typos are on me.

Engage Elected Officials

  • Tell them to Stop the budget cuts!  In order to pass the Reconciliation bill through the house and Senate ASAP, Speaker Johnson is granting concessions to the MAGA faction hand-over-fist, This bill would:
    • Result in 10.3 million people losing Medicaid*
    • Kick at least 7.6 million people off health insurance* (have seen higher estimates elsewhere)
    • Cut essential programs: SNAP, housing assistance, publlc health services.

All to:

  • Fund massive tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. 

Drastic changes are being made to the bill to satisfy the hardliners- NOW is the time to speak out!*

Congressional Budget Office (CBO)” reported in “The Hill”.
