We organize to build:
Multiracial democracy and the power of the people
Our government should serve all of us rather than the wealthy few and corporations.
Racial justice
We work to defeat the racism and white supremacy built into the foundation of this country, dismantle the structures that perpetuate them, and repair the harm.
Gender justice
We must end structures that harm women, LGBTQ people, and people who don’t conform to traditional gender norms. Gender-based oppression makes all of us less free.
Shared prosperity
We need an economy built for everyone, starting with good jobs and wages, community investment, and expansive public goods and services.
A healthy planet
We support urgent action including large-scale green public investment to fight the climate crisis, preserve our planet, and repair the damage of environmental racism. We all deserve clean air and water, healthy food, great mass transit, and vibrant green spaces.
High-quality public education
Universal free public education for children and adults is critical to a thriving democracy. We fight for neighborhood public schools with safe and modern facilities and caring staff and teachers.
Homes for all
Everyone deserves a home that’s healthy, safe, accessible, and permanently affordable. We aim to eradicate housing insecurity and homelessness and fight for high-quality housing for everyone, wherever they choose to live.
Healthcare for all
Physical, mental, and reproductive health services should be free and accessible to everyone in their communities. Community health also requires harm reduction, the end of gun violence, and the end of poverty.
Transformative justice
No one is disposable. We recognize the humanity of those who do harm and those who experience it. We work to end mass incarceration and police and state violence, to abolish punitive systems, and to create lasting alternatives to surveillance and imprisonment.
Workers’ rights
We believe the economy should be run by all of us. Expanding and empowering the organized labor movement is essential for improving everyone’s lives in the workplace and fighting for the common good.
True community safety
Our neighbors and neighborhoods deserve the deep material investments that will help keep all of us safe, including violence interruption and prevention, crisis intervention, and support for those impacted by violence.
Dignity, safety, and justice for all immigrants
Our values extend to everyone, regardless of immigration status. We must work to end the global turmoil caused by the United States abroad while we welcome and support new Philadelphians of all backgrounds.
Solidarity
Every person has a stake in the world we seek to build. We support the struggles of everyday people, whether in our neighborhoods or across borders.
