Eastern Panhandle Policies Over Parties
Eastern Panhandle Policies Over Parties, or EPPOP (pronounced E-POP) for short, is a nonpartisan organization working in Berkeley & Jefferson Counties, West Virginia. We are focused on building a large, integrated safety net to prevent individuals and families from falling through the cracks in society. We are also focused on mitigating harm to people from policies enacted by both the WV & US legislatures and administrations, regardless of political party, and to promoting good policies. We hold our legislators accountable to their constituents and we teach our community members about how to get involved in exercising their political freedoms. We support our communities by working together with others and lifting up all peoples in our communities. Some of the ways in which we accomplish these goals are: -Reducing Food Insecurity by Establishing Community Gardens across our two counties: invite individuals to work in the gardens in exchange for food to feed themselves and their families, use any extra produce to fill local food pantries and feed the needy, teach skills that help people become more independent, and use individuals' volunteer hours in the garden to help them qualify for Medicaid. -Building & Strengthening the Safety Net by Partnering with Churches and other Organizations in our area who are already providing services to our communities, supporting those services, and determining where the holes in our safety net lie, so that we can create additional services to fill those holes. -Combating Misinformation through Truth by researching WV & US policies, teaching our community members about what those policies are, identifying the policy harm within our communities and how they will affect their families, and how they can get involved to support or reject those policies. -Holding Our Representatives Accountable to the People through calls, emails, letters, personal visits, and attending town halls, in addition to teaching their constituents how to make their voices heard in Charleston and DC through their constitutionally protected rights to free speech and peaceful protest -Promoting Education for All by uplifting our educators, fighting book bans, pushing back against discriminatory policies that harm students & teachers, and protesting damaging changes to WV curriculum or school policy. -Supporting Our Community Structure by shopping at small businesses instead of corporations and chain restaurants in order for them to thrive during good times and survive during economic downturns. -Protecting Our Community Members by standing up for all people, especially our marginalized communities, such as LGBTQIA+, IPOC, the elderly, the disabled, the poor, the homeless, veterans, and any other peoples who are being othered. All People deserve to be treated with respect, and our focus is to build up our communities rather than tear them down. -Defending the Rights of All Women & Girls to control their own bodies, lives, choices, education, livelihoods, and voices. We hope that you'll join us on this Adventure into Building a New and Better World! You can find us on Facebook, this website, and soon on BlueSky.
