Be a champion of local democracy.

Become a member today!

For almost 120 years, the Committee of Seventy has been a nonpartisan leader in advancing representative, ethical, and effective government in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. 

Become a member and you can help us ensure that more eligible voters will vote, will be informed when they vote, and will vote with confidence. You will be an active participant in our democratic process, and together we'll work to build trust among our fellow citizens in local election officials, in the integrity of our systems, and in each other.

Your membership also provides unique opportunities to meet civic leaders and policy experts, gain inside knowledge of the reform process, and connect with people who are passionate about our city and commonwealth - plus, swag!

As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."

Thank you for being a champion of local democracy!
