We've been shouting it from the rooftops: ballot curing best practices get the best results for counting mail ballots.

Bayard Rustin was a remarkable organizer with a strong connection to Pennsylvania. Born in West Chester, he was one of the principle organizers of the March on Washington. For #pridemonth and all year long, we celebrate his contribution to a fair and just world.

Before the world heard Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Bayard Rustin helped make that moment possible.
As an openly gay civil rights strategist and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, his leadership helped change America.
This #PrideMonth, we honor his legacy. 🏳️🌈

🏳️🌈 This Pride Month, we honor the LGBTQ leaders, advocates & everyday voters who power our democracy.
Attacks on equality are attacks on democracy—and we won’t stand for them.
We’re fighting for a system where EVERY voice counts.

Did you know that in Pennsylvania, 17 of our 67 counties have ONE or NO local news outlets? We need public interest journalism across the state to inform voters and hold power accountable. That's why @commoncausepa is a proud partner of @local_news_day. #LocalNewsDay
