When the Gift Ban is signed into law, it will be the culmination of not only years of advocacy by MarchOnHarrisburg, but also by other anti-corruption advocates who demanded action for decades before us. Here’s a look back on the history of the Gift Ban.

On Saturday, March 20th, 50 RCV advocates and interested PA residents joined our What, Why, How: Ranked Choice Voting in Pennsylvania event.

On January 27, 2021 close to 150 advocates, allies, lawmakers, and legislative staff joined us during our live, online legislative briefing as we unveiled our 23-policy Money Out, People In Policy Platform.

On January 6, armed white supremacists stormed the US Capitol in order to stop our democratic electoral process and install an authoritarian tyrant.

The past year has been incredibly challenging and painful. Yet, because of your tireless commitment to justice and free and fair elections, we have so much to celebrate as the year winds down.

With only a few days left in the legislation session, we ramped up our Gift Ban campaign the last week of September demanding the bill be called to a vote.

It is after much deliberation and with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the March to End Corruption, due to COVID-19.

We’re one step closer to passing the next bill on our legislative agenda!

MarchOnHarrisburg helped to pass the first voting reform in Pennsylvania since 1937!

Nonviolent civil disobedience makes it happen! Immediately after two nonviolent direct actions, Speaker Turzai co-sponsored HB 1291: Gift Ban for Public Officials. A major victory in the fight to end corruption in Pennsylvania!

On Saturday, April 27, we kicked off the March to Make Corruption Illegal from Philadelphia. We’re marching 105-miles to Harrisburg to demand a Gift Ban for public officials!

On Wednesday, March 6, the Protect Our Vote Coalition testified at the Board of Election Sunshine meeting to present the procedural and legal failings of the February 20 voting machines decision.

If we cannot trust that our votes are accurately and securely counted, our democracy is in jeopardy. This fight is far from over, we are committed to challenging this decision and fighting to keep cybersecurity and accessibility central in the voting machine acquisition process.

Because of the efforts of the democracy movement in Philadelphia, City Commissioners are delaying their decision on Philadelphia's new voting machines.

Yesterday, MarchOnHarrisburg joined nonpartisan, good government grassroots organizations Common Cause PA, League of Women Voters PA, and  Represent Us PA at the State Capitol Building to announce the formation of the Democracy Partnership of Pennsylvania!

More than anything, yesterday’s election showed us the power of the people: Across the country, where State Legislatures have failed, democracy won on the ballot.

Speaker Turzai and Allegany County Chairman Dave both have published editorials questioning the need for an independent redistricting citizen commission and MarchOnHarrisburg's motives for advocating for one. MoH executive director responds.

Today, August 6, is the technical, ‘hard deadline’ to pass the Constitutional Amendment to implement an Independent Redistricting Commission.
