Unfortunately, we are not finished with our work Progress is not always linear and our democracy yet again is under attack. We ask that you join us to Rise Up and Fight Back.
In early 2020 ProgressPA realized the pandemic had turned the election cycle upside down. In normal times members would be out knocking on doors and holding rallies in support of our candidates. Most of our members felt it wasn't safe to canvas in the middle of a pandemic and feared voters would not welcome a stranger at their door. It was time to think outside the box and the Big Sign Up campaign was born. We started raising money to buy billboards. We started with hopes of funding 3 or 4 billboards around Allegheny County, but the idea caught on and we began helping other groups and individuals across the state. ProgressPA's Stacey Vernallis took care of finding billboard locations and coordinating contracts and found. Our fantastic graphic artist Alison Duncan designed the images and messages for the billboards. ProgressPA PAC helped raise nearly $110,000 for billboards across the region, eventually placing them in 55 spots in 20 counties, so many that they were told the advertisements would register five million impressions per week. Here are just a few of the great designs by Alison Duncan.
