a reminder that Pittsburgh is also in Pennsylvania and there are organizers here who deserve some credit for what’s happening statewide, too. PGH is wildly racist and segregated and blue regardless because of HARD WORK. stop leaving it out of the convo.

it’s arguably more difficult to galvanize here because Pittsburgh *isn’t* Blackity Black. it’s actually the hardest place in the country for Black women specifically to thrive. yet Black women are leading here and helping to deliver these victories. don’t omit that shit.

in short: without Philly AND Pittsburgh PA would not be blue. damn near everything in between us (a five hour-long drive, for the record) is called Pennsyltucky for a reason.
