Reclaim Philadelphia Member Endorsed Slate of Judicial Candidates
⚖️ Reclaim Philadelphia is proud to announce our slate of judicial candidates endorsed by our membership for the Court of Common Pleas and Municipal Court ✨
Since 2017, Reclaim Philadelphia has made endorsements for judicial candidates running for seats on Philadelphia’s Courts.
Our communities deserve judges who understand public safety isn’t something we achieve by locking up enough people in cages. Judges are critical fixtures of the prison industrial complex, and in that system they hold a tremendous amount of power over our lives and our communities. This election cycle we have the chance to elect judges who profess our shared values.
We believe these candidates will have the most positive impact on institutions that enable mass incarceration and housing displacement — an institution derived from forces designed to uphold chattel slavery, suppress organized labor, and uplift the needs of landlords in housing decisions.
