If you've been following our newsletter, you know that PNN is one of the main organizers for Project Beloved Community. This project, based on the teachings of MLK, Jr., is one of restoration and hope and belief in the power of our community to work together to improve the lives of everyone. It starts with building the "political will" in our local elected officials to do the right thing, to change their priorities from monied interests to working for the betterment of the people who they are supposed to represent.

We'll build that political will by demonstrating a clear preference by we the people of Philadelphia to change our priorities by creating far-reaching, long-term solutions to seemingly intractable problems - providing sufficient good-paying jobs, building enough deeply affordable houses, by providing a true sense of community that leads to a reduction in gun violence and poverty.

If you want to help us build that political will, then let us know here that you are willing to join us this summer as we gather signatures from our neighbors that call for full implementation of Project Beloved Community. It can be as simple as talking with your neighbors or joining us on a buddy canvass. We will build our schedule around your summer plans.
