We are a group of Democratic and Republican committee people and Ward Leaders in Philadelphia who are working toward more open, accessible and democratic wards.

Open Wards Philly is an effort by both newly elected and veteran committee people, and some of the ward leaders they helped elect, to create a better ward system across Philadelphia. To that end, we have developed a set of foundational principles that are rooted in democratic processes, direct representation, and the notion that committee people ought to be empowered in their efforts to support and represent their constituents.
