The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board just endorsed firefighter union leader Bob Brooks for Congress.
You can join the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans in helping to get Bob Brooks elected to Congress by phone banking senior Lehigh Valley voters with us!

Brooks’ campaign commercials highlight his firefighting career but undersell his full story of hard work and life challenges. Experience that will serve him well in Congress.

Tomorrow night, October 15th at 6 PM, the Coalition of Labor Union Women will be holding a vigil in Center City Philadelphia to mark the 1-Year Anniversary of Sri Lankan garment worker Paramsivam Pushpalatha's tragic and preventable death.

Pushpalatha was a 44-year-old mother and a garment worker who made clothing and lingerie for Victoria’s Secret at a Sri Lankan factory owned by a supplier called Brandix. She died a preventable death nearly a year ago after several coworkers reported that a Brandix supervisor denied her leave when she fell ill on the job. She went into work as on any regular day, but by the end of the day, she was dead. She had worked at Brandix, in Victoria’s Secret’s supply chain, for over a decade.

In the months since her tragic death, other workers from Brandix, Pushpalatha’s family members, and union organizers with the Commercial and Industrial Workers’ Union (CIWU-Sri Lanka) launched the Justice for Pushpa campaign with support from Asia Floor Wage Alliance and Global Labor Justice. They have reported threats and intimidation – including threats of r**e and murder – for demanding accountability and speaking up about Pushpalatha.

Join the vigil for Pushpalatha in Center City Philly tomorrow night!

Online scams are costing Pennsylvanians billions of dollars, but the damage isn’t always measured in dollars. Kate Kleinert lost $39,000 to a scammer who built a relationship with her, leaving her to cope with financial hardship and the heartbreak of losing someone she believed she loved.

It was an honor for PARA to speak at this press conference highlighting how the affordability crisis is impacting seniors in Pennsylvania. Our President Mike Crossey discussed how Republican Congressional action as well as inaction is endangering seniors' retirement security. This is why we need to elect pro-worker, pro-senior champions to Congress this fall who will vote to fully fund and expand Social Security and Medicare and restore full Medicaid coverage. In the richest country in the world, we can afford to make sure all our seniors have enough to get by.

'I’m not looking to live extravagantly,' said Rick Boyko of Slatington. 'I’d like to eat reasonably.'
