Who we are?
Protect PT (Penn-Trafford) is a nonprofit
an organization dedicated to ensuring residents’
safety, security, and quality of life by engaging
in education and advocacy to protect the
economic, environmental, and legal rights of the
people in Westmoreland and Allegheny counties.
Since starting as a group of neighbors working
together to protect their neighborhood from
fracking in late 2014, Protect PT has grown to
a community-based organization with staff,
volunteers, and members.
Our Goals: Educate, Empower, and Engage
Educate residents and local lawmakers with factual and important information so they may better protect themselves. We hold educational meetings, invite guest speakers, conduct research, and publish resources for public benefit.
Empower residents to get involved in the local government process.
Engage our lawmakers directly at local meetings and hearings to ensure our rights are protected.
