What is your Big Idea for Philadelphia?
"Elevate & Engage: Taking the Next Step for Philadelphia’s Future"
Philadelphia, once again, will play a major role in shaping the 2024 election and in turn, our country’s history. As we navigate this critical moment, the Committee of Seventy is dedicated to ensuring the city’s future is built on transparency, trust in our institutions, and active civic participation.
Healthy democracy requires constant attention and advocacy. When individuals get more civically engaged, the institutions that define our country and our way of life get stronger. While all eyes will be on Philadelphia through November, to truly help our city move forward, we need to leverage the energy around this election into full-time civic engagement and participation throughout our city, connecting the dots between how elections and government work, how government affects our lives, and the steps everyone can take to improve their communities. At Seventy, we’re increasing our efforts to make Philadelphia a model of good governance and civic responsibility, ensuring that our city remains a vibrant, thriving democracy. The future of Philadelphia depends on informed, engaged citizens—and we’re here to make sure every voice is heard by providing important resources, perspective, and opportunities to get involved.
