Get Out the Vote With Us to Win Big for Our Communities Starting in April!

March 25, 2023
Nikki, Kris and Derrick smile for the camera with the text 'Get Out the Vote WIth Us' below

On May 16th, we will decide who runs Philly. With a mayor and five members of city council-at-large up for election we have a once in decades opportunity to shape our city and it’s policies. 

By getting out the vote it is possible to win fully funded non-police mobile crisis teams for mental health emergencies and other critical resources for our communities. But we need to put in the work. 

Every weekend in April up until May 16th we will be canvassing in Germantown and West Philly to get out the vote for candidates who will stand against mass incarceration. We are joining forces with Straight Ahead and Free The Ballot to mobilize voters to win big for our city and our communities. Read more about the candidates we are supporting and why here. And sign up below to join us and be a part of making a positive change for Philly!
