State Budget Impasse Protest Planned for Nov. 18 at the Capitol

A large stakeholder advocacy group is planning to protest the state budget impasse at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, November 18, on the Capitol steps in Harrisburg. Although the group was originally convened to focus on behavioral health, they are encouraging all groups impacted by the impasse to join, as it continues to affect people, programs, and organizations far beyond behavioral health.

As someone with a vested interest in passing the budget, you are encouraged to attend the protest, share this invitation widely, and rally your networks and anyone affected by this issue.

Contact Kathy Quick, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers Association, for more information. If the budget passes before November 18, the event will be canceled.
