Can Pennsylvania become a free state?
By Bob Small
In December we joined the Pennsylvania Pioneers after seeing them online. They use the quote “all power is inherent in the people”, going on to say “if we claim it and work at it!” They describe their mission as “ To revive the fundamental freedoms and principles our founders enshrined in the Declaration of Independence by empowering all counties and states to become de jure, self-governing entities. “
Copilot describes Pennsylvania Pioneers as “a sovereignty-focused political group,” and lists a number of goals, being one of many anti-administrative-state movements.
Among the 11 listed counties are Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery. One needs to be aware that this is not to be confused with pennsylvania free state and the Gradual Abolition Act.
Pennsylvania being the first state (1780) to partially abolish slavery!
In their March Newsletter About Us | Pennsylvania Free St they spoke about their work against Data Collection Centers in Pennsylvania, specifically attending en masse at a Lancaster County Commissioners meeting. They also listed the Pennsylvania Pioneers Assembly Training Calls, Chester County information meeting Q and A, their Sunday Book Study, and more, including Potlucks.
We should mention that, unlike many other Independent Organizing groups, the majority of organizers listed are female. We wonder if anyone else has met with this group.
