Rabbi Michael Pollack grew up in Rockville, Md. During his last year at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2017, he co-founded March on Harrisburg, a group dedicated to making corruption illegal and taking American democracy where it’s never been before by passing anti-corruption, pro-democracy bills in Pennsylvania. Michael is also a statewide tri-chair of the PA Poor People’s Campaign and a lead organizer with Pennsylvania Action on Climate. He lives outside of Philadelphia. His hobbies include convincing politicians not to be corrupt, long marches through the Pennsylvania countryside and sitting down in inconvenient places in the State Capitol.
We encounter our public officials and convince them to make their own corruption illegal and to democratize the power they hold so tightly.
