PUMP Advocacy

PUMP encourages a new generation of leaders to become involved in the civic and political process. The civic decision-making process in our community is greatly enhanced through the involvement of Pittsburgh’s young professionals. The following is a list of the ways PUMP gets involved in advocacy:

• providing information for the development of educated opinions and vehicles for advocacy;
• providing assistance in accessing decision-making and elected positions;
• and publicizing young people’s sentiments about timely issues to key stakeholders and the Pittsburgh community

Current issues PUMP is tracking are:
 

• The Smoking Ban
• Campaign Finance Reform
• Municipal Consolidation

We keep an Archive page as well.
