State College, Pennsylvania
socially distanced event, masks mandatory, streamed live on PA Labor website
Good morning, State College!
Education is important - from kindergarten to Penn State, we owe it to our children to provide quality, equitable access to public education. From the Philadelphia inner city to out here in scenic Central Pennsylvania, every child should have the opportunity to learn and pursue their dreams. Here in the Keystone State, though, there's a lot of disparity that we need to take on - oftentimes, poorer working-class Pennsylvanians simply cannot get the same quality of education as their suburban private school counterparts can. We need to change this, and Pennsylvania Labor is committed to fighting for and funding better public education for all.
There's a lot of steps that need to be taken, and unlike other parties, Pennsylvania Labor has a detailed plan that they'll fight to implement in Harrisburg. Firstly, we'll ensure that folks in inner cities can have access to high-quality education - for too long, career politicians have left these communities out to dry, often for racial reasons, and a Labor government would end this shameful practice by investing in inner-city education. Secondly, we'll work to reduce the cost of a college education. Rapidly inflating tuition costs have left many Pennsylvanians without the ability to go to college and have saddled others with crippling amounts of student loan debt. Pennsylvania Labor will craft legislation that helps fund college tuition for lower-income students, ensuring that level of wealth and aftereffects from sustained systemic racism won't impede the efforts of hardworking students to pursue their dreams. And, Pennsylvania Labor will fight for our teachers - being a teacher, thanks to low wages and constant underappreciation, is one of the most thankless jobs in Atlasia, and by supporting teacher's unions in their fight for better wages we'll ensure that Pennsylvanian educators receive appropriate compensation for their crucial role in aiding our younger generations.
Both here in Pennsylvania and in Nyman, your Labor representatives have constantly been active advocates for your interests. Instead of promoting conspiracy theories or spouting irrelevant, feel-good platitudes on the campaign trail, they've been working on plans to help make YOUR life better. It's thanks to leadership from President Pericles and the Labor Congress that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States didn't claim more lives, and a Pennsylvania Labor government would work with the Administration to smooth the transition out of the COVID crisis without risking the lives of Pennsylvanians. State College, the choice is clear - vote Labor and stick with proven leadership that WILL get things done for folks like you. Thank you!
