State Rep. Mary Isaacson

@pahousedems.com are fighting for you while the Senate GOP's inaction is causing harm to Pennsylvanians!

It has long been my priority in office to protect animals. I’m proud to share this update about two of my bills that passed in the Judiciary Committee today and are now headed to the full #PAHouse for a vote.

HB 879, the Attorney General to investigate felony offenses of animal cruelty.

Our animals provide comfort, companionship and even medical services to their humans and I will always work to protect them!

Today, the Judiciary committee voted to pass two of my animal protection bills to be considered on the House floor!

HB 608 increases penalties for the ear cropping of dogs that aren't performed by a licensed veterinarian.

100 days in, we're about to send yet another reasonable #PABudget to the #PaSenate. Meanwhile, the School District of Philadelphia is desperate, and the WOAR rape crisis center has had to suspend service. It’s time to put Pennsylvanians first & for the #SenateGOP to get serious and do their job!

Thousands of people who seek services from WOAR in Philadelphia will suffer until the Senate GOP can stop playing partisan politics and do the job they were elected to do - serve the great people across PA.

Philadelphia's ONLY rape crisis center is forced to cut services because the Senate GOP has refused to do their job for three months. Meanwhile, the budget impasse hurts the most vulnerable people in the commonwealth.

If you have old electronics, we will have an e-recycling truck as well. Bring your old laptops, computers – anything with a plug to rid yourself of clutter while protecting the environment.

It's horrible that PA currently ranks near the bottom when it comes to civics education. Changes need to be made for a greater emphasis in civics teaching so that our kids will have the tools to better participate & improve our society.

My colleague @RepKenyatta walked 105 miles to demand mass transit funding. I’m calling on the #PaSenate: get back to work, pass the #PaBudget, and #FundTransit for Pennsylvanians.

That's why I am hopeful that my House Resolution to research the impact of these websites and keep them from people seeking help is adopted soon.

Remember, you are not alone. Reach out to the people in your life or dial 988 if you are in crisis.

It's National Suicide Prevention Month - let's honor the thousands of families who've been shattered with grief and celebrate the lives lost.

It's far too easy to stumble across nefarious websites that will encourage vulnerable people to act in moments of crisis.

Wishing everyone a Happy and safe Labor Day weekend!

My office will be closed tomorrow Aug. 29 and Monday Sept. 1. We will reopen on Tuesday Sept. 2 for any assistance you need.

Today in History: The 19th Amendment is ratified, allowing women to vote and giving them a voice in our country.
We should honor those who fought through Women's Suffrage by voting. Remember, elections don't just happen every four years. Exercise your right by making your voices heard.

YouTube video by Pa. House Video Isaacson – Senate Proposal Is Woefully Inadequate

Bills passed by the #PASenate Tuesday are inadequate. Their transit bill increases fares & cuts $$ for safety. Their budget bill fails to fund schools & services properly. I stand with other Democrats for a better solution. The good news: at least the Senate came back to work.

Without @septaphilly.bsky.social PA will fall behind - It's time for the Senate to deliver for the commonwealth.
