Grassroots Lobbying Network


The PSATS Grassroots Lobbying Network is composed of local leaders who work together to ensure that the voice of all townships is heard in Harrisburg and Washington.

PSATS keeps members of the network informed of the status of important legislation and policies. Network members are encouraged to establish relationships with their legislators and communicate with them regularly about how a piece of legislation or a particular policy would impact township government.

Action Alerts 

When legislative issues arise that could have a major impact on townships, PSATS will issue a call to action to its member townships.

Note: PSATS does not have any action alerts at this time.
