The Trump administration\u2019s unprecedented assault on congressionally authorized programs and its lawless attacks on institutions, from our elections, to universities, to immigrant communities, demands a response.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOur survey included an extensive, but not exhaustive, list of eleven different policy areas that are being impacted by this administration\u2019s actions. We asked survey participants to choose the top three issues that were most important to them. Over 1200 of our members responded and\u00a0told us that the following issues were their priorities, by a large margin:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Voting & Fair Elections (Executive Orders undermining election administration, laws that would disenfranchise voters, etc.)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Cuts to the Social Safety Net (Medicaid, Affordable Care Act, SNAP-food stamps, etc.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • Dismantling Government Services and Workforce (Cuts to departments, civil servants, safety monitoring, etc.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIn a statistical tie, 53% of respondents placed both \u201cVoting & Fair Elections\u201d and \u201cCuts to the Social Safety Net\u201d in their top three issues of concern. Coming in third was \u201cDismantling Government Services and Workforce\u201d, selected by 48% of respondents<\/span>.<\/span> \u00a0These results were by far the three predominant areas of concern, but all eleven areas scored in double digits, including the economy, cuts to public media, destruction of natural resources, and public health<\/span>;<\/span>,<\/span> all of which scored over 11%. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn addition to the survey data, we wanted to hear directly from our members. The survey included an open response section for our members to share how these issues were impacting them. The responses detailed example after example of how this administration\u2019s actions and contempt for the rule of law are harming Pennsylvanians, threatening our healthcare and our jobs, and spreading fear and uncertainty across our communities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nRespondents shared many stories across every single area of concern:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
          \r\n \t
        • Many respondents had personal worries about the social safety net and benefit policies, including Medicaid, social security, and insurance coverage. Access to services, specific medications and financial limitations stood out.\u00a0 For many, any policy changes will have direct consequences on necessary healthcare.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
            \r\n \t
          • A cancer survivor lamented the cuts for cancer research that have already gone through and the reality of relying on Medicaid and food stamps as someone not able to work due to health conditions. <\/span>\u201cWith the cost of living going up with tariffs we need real solutions.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
              \r\n \t
            • Recently diagnosed with lung cancer, an early retiree who gets health insurance through the Affordable Care Act\u2019s state marketplace says<\/span>, \u201cI am bracing myself. And very worried\u201d<\/span><\/i> about the possibility of losing federal tax credits that reduce insurance costs. <\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                \r\n \t
              • Fear and apprehension were common feelings across different areas. Respondents were afraid for friends and family related to the administration\u2019s increased detention and deportation activity, frequently in violation of due process rights. Respondents shared their deep concerns about increases in transphobia and hateful rhetoric directed at the LGBTQ+ community. Economic uncertainty and uneasiness about job security, in both the private and public sectors, was a theme as well. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                  \r\n \t
                • On the increase in ICE raids across the country one respondent shares, <\/span>\u201cAs a brown citizen, I now feel the need to bring ID when I go to the park in case someone decides I look like an immigrant and throws me into a van.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                    \r\n \t
                  • There were respondents who talked about personally losing jobs or family members losing jobs. Even employment didn\u2019t quash economic fears about future.<\/span> \u201cMy grown children work so hard and don\u2019t get ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                      \r\n \t
                    • On cuts to the federal workforce,<\/span> \u201cTo think that government can be run efficiently with skeleton staffs is insane. To eliminate regulatory agencies is even more insane.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThese survey results and stories say a lot about what Pennsylvanians are feeling right now. Common Cause Pennsylvania would like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to our survey. Our collective voices and our stories are essential to fighting back against the administration\u2019s lawless assault on programs and institutions authorized by Congress.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}}]},"yoast_head":"\nPennsylvania Member Survey: Voting, Social Safety Net, and Government Dismantling Lead List of Federal Concerns -
