The Legislative Priorities of the Pennsylvania Council of Churches enumerates the issues of greatest importance to the Council within each legislative biennium, guided by the Council’s Principles for Public Advocacy.  The priorities are compiled and approved by the Council’s Public Advocacy Action Team (PAAT) in coordination with the Council’s Director of Public Advocacy.  They are subject to revision as the need arises.  

When preparing the list for a given biennium, PAAT considers:  (1) traditional issues for Council advocacy; (2) ongoing issues that received advocacy support by the Council and were not resolved in the previous session; (3) issues that have arisen in the context of more recent state and federal policy actions and campaign dialogue or rhetoric; (4) staff time and resources available to carry out the work.
