Recapping the Week in Harrisburg

This week in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania House Democrats were hard at work advocating for women, safer communities and students by passing legislation that regulates the use of e-scooters, bans cell phones in school and increases access to treatment for women going through menopause.

We also celebrated the three-year anniversary of advocating for maternal health equity with the Black Maternal Health Caucus and honored the retirements of outgoing House members.
