Our communities are resilient, and with the right amount of protection and investment our communities can be safe, healthy, and thriving! We’re used to stretching our dollars, taking care of each other, and creating beauty even in the harshest conditions. But today, we’re facing the constant fear of ICE kidnapping our loved ones and neighbors, fear of losing access to healthcare and food assistance, fear of losing our schools to more closures. 

City Council and Mayor Parker must do more to protect Philadelphians from the impact of federal and state budget cuts and fully commit to keeping our city a sanctuary for immigrants. Too often our elected officials stand on the side of billionaires, real estate developers, and corporations. Our communities can only thrive if we have leadership that has the courage to put working class people first. 

This spring, Alliance members are leading campaigns to fight for what our communities deserve and taking action to demand city leadership stand up for everyday people. We know we’re more powerful together and we’ll keep fighting for a future where all Philadelphians are safe, fed, and have the resources they need!

✸ ✸ ✸ We’re Calling on Mayor Parker & City Council to ✸ ✸ ✸

Philly has a long history of workers organizing, Black liberation struggles, and active solidarity with immigrant communities. We know it’s wrong to exploit, overpolice, surveil, and disappear people. And so we show up, we march, and we organize to demand dignity, protection, and basic human rights.
