National Popular Vote Introduced in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

(Nov 12, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Nov. 12 – A group of Republican and Democratic legislators introduced the National Popular Vote bill (H.B. 2662) in Harrisburg today. The bill would include Pennsylvania in the growing number of states who want to guarantee the presidency to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bill is called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. “As the lead author of the National Popular Vote bill, I think it is imperative to work across party lines and am grateful my Republican colleagues are lending their voice and support to this effort,” said state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila. “Every voter, of every party, should have an equal voice in every presidential election and the National Popular Vote bill is the only plan that credibly delivers on that promise.” The National Popular Vote bill has been enacted in 17 states and the District of Columbia, totaling 209 electoral votes. The bill guarantees the presidency to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and takes effect when states with 270 electoral votes have passed the bill. The legislation has passed Republican- and Democratic-controlled chambers in seven additional states with 74 electoral votes, more than the 61 required for the bill to be in place for the 2028 presidential elections. “One-person, one-vote is not a Read more

Rep Rabb highlights wide-ranging legislation focused on honoring Native American culture

(Nov 01, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

PHILADELPAHIA, Nov. 1 -- In celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month, state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., is highlighting a series of wide-ranging legislation focused on honoring Native American culture and history while protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples. In 2021, Rabb authored a resolution that would have amended the rules of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to include a formal land acknowledgment at the beginning of each legislative week. He will be reintroducing the resolution in this upcoming legislative session. “Symbolism matters -- particularly when it’s tethered to substantive action around land back measures and other related matters. That’s why rhetoric must be followed by redress,” Rabb said. Last week, President Joe Biden formally apologized to the Native peoples for the U.S. policy that forced Native children into federally backed boarding schools where they were ethnically cleansed and forced to assimilate to American culture, a first for a U.S. President. The most flagship example of one of these schools was located in Carlisle, PA, just over 20 miles from the Capitol. Rabb says now is the time to push harder than ever for legislation that would enhance the rights of Native peoples and their culture. Rabb recently reintroduced legislation to protect Native American trademarks by preventing the use of Pennsylvania state Read more

 

Rabb condemns Penn’s use of police to raid students; calls for investigation

(Oct 31, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 31 – State Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., release the following statement on the University of Pennsylvania’s recent use of the university police force to raid the homes of students: “As a Penn alumnus, I was horrified to learn that such a shocking and aggressive display of force occurred on Oct. 18. “I stand firmly in support of a formal and public investigation into the actions taken by the Penn Police, particularly those of Kathleen Shields Anderson, vice president of the Division of Public Safety, Detective Paul Guercio, and the officers involved in the raid. The alarming use of excessive force against these students is unacceptable and demands accountability. “The escalation to armed tactical units in a situation involving nonviolent student protestors is deeply concerning to me, especially as this police brutality seems to have been authorized due to ideological motives. As we near the 40-year anniversary of the tragic MOVE bombing -- where excessive force and a lack of accountability led to devastating consequences for the West Philadelphia community -- we must learn from the misdeeds and missteps of the past to inform appropriate policies and protocols that protect all those who wish to express their First Amendment rights without fear of reprisal. “We must ensure that our law enforcement agencies operate with transparency, oversight and respect for the community they Read more

HARRISBURG, Oct. 11 – In honor of the upcoming Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday, state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., is highlighting a series of wide-ranging legislation focused on honoring Native culture and history while protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples. In 2021, Rabb authored a resolution that would have amended the rules of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to include a formal land acknowledgment at the beginning of each legislative week. He has reintroduced the resolution this session. “Symbolism matters — particularly when it’s tethered to substantive action. That’s why rhetoric must be followed by redress,” Rabb said.

Rabb heartened by progress on voting rights in jails, work remains to be done

(Oct 09, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 9 – State Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., released the following statement on today’s voting rights in jails news conference held in the state Capitol East Wing Rotunda by the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus and statewide voting rights advocates: “Progress in legislating is often measured over the course of months and years. In the moment, despite an immense amount of tireless work and long hours, very little seems to be happening. It’s only when, given the benefit of distance and perspective, change becomes apparent. “But every now and then, there’s a bright and brilliant moment where something substantial and meaningful breaks free from the morass. Hard work is vindicated in an instant. Today was one of those days. “I was so proud to stand with my colleagues and voting rights advocates from across the commonwealth and celebrate the Department of State’s first-ever official guidance on voting practices in jails . “Voting rights and fixing our decrepit election system has been one of my top priorities for years. Back in 2022, I introduced legislation ( H.B. 2718 and H.B. 2719 ) that would require jail officials to make Pennsylvanians being held pre-trial or who are incarcerated for a misdemeanor aware of their eligibility to vote. That legislation now lives on in the capable hands of Representatives Rick Krajewski and Read more

 

Rabb disappointed at lack of perceptible change in Juvenile Justice Task Force-informed legislation

(Oct 09, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 9 – Yesterday, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed S.B. 169 , which would accept certain recommendations put forth by Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Justice Task Force that state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., said represent little to no real change when compared to the breadth and scope of the task force’s full recommendations . The bill would require courts to hold disposition review hearings at least every three months for the purpose of ensuring that each child committed to out-of-home placement is receiving necessary services and treatment. “I can’t help but to feel like this legislation represents reform in only the most minimalist of ways,” Rabb said. “The Juvenile Justice Task Force put forth recommendations that would represent substantial change to the commonwealth’s juvenile legal system. We must act as a legislative body to enact the more substantive proposed reforms in service of justice for adjudicated youth of Pennsylvania.” Recommendation 9 from the task force, which stated that the commonwealth should narrow the criteria for trying youth as adults by eliminating statutory exclusion — also known as “direct file” — from juvenile court, echoed part of legislation, H.B. 1551 , that Rabb introduced this session that would end the charging of youths as adults. That legislation is Read more

(Oct 02, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 2 – Legislation ( H.B. 675 ) introduced by state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., that would better protects consumers in danger of having their utilities shut off was included in a bill ( H.B. 1077 ) passed by the PA House today.

I am thrilled that legislation I’ve been continuously fighting for years for could play a part in getting this process underway.” The PA House-passed bill will now go to the state Senate for consideration.

Rabb “Greenwashing” Bill Moves Forward

(Oct 02, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

PA state Rep. Chris Rabb’s legislation that would prohibit “greenwashing,” environmentally deceptive marketing claims, passed in the #PAHouse Judiciary Committee. Corporations have taken advantage of environmentally conscious consumers with false claims like “net zero” or “low carbon” with no evidence to back up those claims. Rabb says, as we increasingly experience the drastic effects of the climate crisis, such as more intense storms, floods, droughts and wildfires, the last thing Pennsylvania consumers need is to be lied to as they try to make informed purchasing decisions.

Rabb highlights legislation to remedy wrongful convictions on International Wrongful Conviction Day

(Oct 02, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 2 – On this International Wrongful Conviction Day, state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., highlighted legislation ( H.B. 987 ) that would compensate people who have been wrongfully convicted in Pennsylvania. “When the state unjustly takes a person’s liberty, it has a responsibility to help repair the damage,” Rabb said . “Pennsylvania, as one of 15 states that does not have a law to compensate the wrongfully convicted, is not upholding its responsibility to exonerees who have lost years of their lives to wrongful imprisonment.” This legislation would help exonerees re-enter society by: Providing monetary compensation to those wrongfully convicted and those wrongfully imprisoned. Providing additional monetary compensation to those wrongfully placed on the state sex offender registry, on parole or on death row. Establishing a mechanism for additional supports, including education, housing and reasonable reintegrative mental and physical health services. This legislation would also establish the Exoneree Community Trust Fund, a restricted fund housed in the Office of the State Treasurer. Staff would be responsible for creating an investment policy statement, managing these investments and reporting to members of the fund’s investment advisory board, some of whom may be exonerees themselves, Rabb said. “This bill is the result of extensive conversations with, Read more

 

Rabb ‘greenwashing’ legislation passes Pa. House Judiciary Committee

(Oct 02, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Oct. 2 – Legislation, H.B. 2525 , introduced by state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., that would prohibit corporations from engaging in the deceitful and manipulative practice of “greenwashing” in the commonwealth passed out of the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee today. This legislation would ensure that there is truth in marketing by amending the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to explicitly prohibit deceptive environmental marketing claims. “For decades now, corporations have taken advantage of environmentally conscious consumers by intentionally marketing their products in a manner that makes them appear better for the planet than they really are. This devious and manipulative practice is known as ‘greenwashing.’ You often see it when companies use terms such as ‘net zero,’ ‘low carbon’ or ‘cleaner energy,’ even if those claims are not based in reality or are aspirational at best,” Rabb said . “As we increasingly experience the drastic effects of the climate crisis, such as more intense storms, floods, droughts and wildfires, the last thing Pennsylvania consumers need is to be lied to as they try to make informed purchasing decisions.” Rabb, a four-term lawmaker representing four neighborhoods in northwest Philadelphia, is a founding member of the PA Climate Caucus and serves on the Read more

Rabb highlights bold legislation to crack down on school book bans during Banned Book Week

(Sep 25, 2024) Rep. Christopher M. Rabb

HARRISBURG, Sept. 25 – In line with National Banned Books Week , state Rep. Chris Rabb, D-Phila., is highlighting legislation he reintroduced in 2023 that would establish procedures to protect public school students’ right to read and learn. “Book bans are an attempt to censor educators and restrict the information and educational materials that students can have access to in school,” Rabb said. “In addition, these effectively unilateral decisions made by school boards are extremely harmful to LGBTQ+ youth and students of color, given that the subjects discussed in these so-called ‘inappropriate’ and ‘explicit’ books often discuss many serious and real issues impacting these communities.” Efforts taken to ban books are often unpopular among both teachers and students, Rabb said. However, misinformed, politically motivated members of school boards continue to run roughshod despite protests by education professionals and students themselves. Pennsylvania has the dubious distinction of being the state with the second highest number of books banned from school libraries and curriculum by school boards. And at a time when the prospects of right-wing censorship efforts loom large, such initiatives as Project 2025 would force librarians and teachers to be registered as sex offenders for making available and teaching books that extremists simply don’t Read more
