PACK CITY COUNCIL! SPEAK OUT FOR A PEOPLE'S BUDGET!

Philadelphia needs People's Budget now more than ever. The Trump administration is threatening major federal cuts to healthcare, education, and more, and everyday Philadelphians are struggling to have their basic needs met. Our city budget must invest in essential services and programs that keep our communities safe, healthy, and whole.

What does a People's Budget mean? We need the budget to BE ABOUT US! That means investing in safe healthy homes, worker protections, public spaces, mental health care, immigrant support programs, schools, and more.

JOIN US! On Tuesday, May 13th at 9:30am, join the Alliance for a Just Philadelphia at City Hall to pack the room and have our voices heard! Testimony goes on for the whole day, so you can also show up whenever works for your schedule that day! Look out for the folks in the blue t-shirts.

Last fall’s Sixers arena fight exposed the dominance of billionaires and City Council’s willingness to bow to their demands. While big corporations continue to lobby for big tax breaks, our elected officials need to protect Philadelphians and stand up to the billionaire bullies. Without robust revenue from taxes, our budget demands can’t be met and everyday working Philadelphians will continue to be left behind by those that are elected to serve us.
