What will the Philadelphia political scene look like in 20 years?

The 17-member Philadelphia City Council has a major role in the everyday lives of city residents. With Council districts being redrawn, now is the time to ensure residents can engage directly in the map-making process.

The Democracy Agenda for Philadelphia outlines the actions needed by our next mayor and City Council to ensure a more representative and ethical city government—a more democratic city government responsive to voters, that protects the public interest, and that engages communities on key decisions shaping their future.

If you live in Roxborough, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, East Falls, Andorra, Shawmont or Wissahickon, you probably reside within the boundaries of the newly-drawn 194th Legislative District in the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Two Democratic candidates, incumbent Pam DeLissio and Tarik Khan, are running for the State Representative seat. Join us for this live event to hear the candidates answer questions in this forum moderated by Morgan M. Robinson of the League of Women Voters of Philadelphia, and co-presented by the Committee of Seventy and FairDistrictsPA. This event is FREE and will end between 8:00pm and 8:15pm.
