Climate Sustainability
Addressing climate change is imperative, encompassing environmental justice, investing in green energy, and fostering green job creation.
Economic Fairness

Embrace Everyone
America is become more diverse; racial, socially, and across many identity markers. We must embrace this diversity to prepare the next generation of leaders.
Peace
In 2023, we built a coalition of organizations committed to violence intervention in high crime areas in Northwest Philadelphia.
