As one of only 15 women in the 50-member Pennsylvania State Senate, as the only state senator who does not accept corporate or special interest donation dollars, as a working class/non-traditional elected official, and as a rape survivor representing all survivors in the PA General Assembly, newly elected state senator Katie Muth will share her insight on using her story, and the story of others, to ignite change. She will discuss the moral obligations she believes are imperative to public service and how the legislative efforts of our government need to become people-centered instead of profit-or special interest-centered. Senator Muth will share insight on how we must unify to “fight the good fight,” even if we can’t be certain of victory, and how empowering others to join this fight for human dignity and fairness is imperative to every member of our society.
