Hello family, friends and supporters,
I am excited to announce that I have been accepted to the Emerge Pennsylvania 2025 Program! Emerge PA is a six-month training program designed to prepare Democratic women for public office. This opportunity aligns with my commitment to community service and advocacy.
About Emerge Pennsylvania
Emerge PA is a national organization that offers intensive training in areas such as campaign strategy, public speaking, fundraising, and policy development. The program equips participants with the skills necessary to run successful campaigns and serve as effective leaders. More information about the Emerge PA program can be found here:

Why This Matters
Our community deserves leaders who understand our unique challenges and can advocate for meaningful change. Through Emerge PA, I aim to gain the expertise needed to:
- Advocate for equitable policies that address immigration, workplace discrimination, livable wages, and education.
- Empower women of color, ensuring that women of color (especially black women) are crafting policy changes that benefit us all and not the few.
- Receive mentorship and a robust network of highly talented and prestigious, campaign professionals, elected officials, and experienced community leaders on how to run a successful campaign as a woman, and most importantly HOW TO WIN.
How You Can Help
The total cost of the program includes covering tuition and associated travel expenses as the program requires travel throughout Pennsylvania. Your contribution will directly fund my participation in Emerge PA, enabling me to acquire the skills necessary to serve our community effectively.
The biggest skill that I will learn is fundraising - a skill that I will need if and when I decide to run for public office. Every dollar counts and will bring me closer to running a successful political campaign in the future.
Ways to Support
- Donate: Any amount, big or small, brings me closer to my goal.
- Share: Please share this campaign with your network to spread the word.
- Encourage: Your words of support and encouragement are felt and contribute to positive energy.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Rochelle Adjei-Abasa
