Seventy works to provide access to information on Philadelphia taxing and budgeting activities.

Good government doesn't just mean doing what's legal; it means doing what's right.

C70, the League of Women Voters of Philadelphia, and Temple's MPP program are co-hosting an event with former PA congresswoman Marjorie Margolies. Marjorie will speak to her experience as both a mother and a congresswoman. She will attempt to answer the question "can women have it all?". The event will be moderated by C70's Interim President Lauren Cristella. Light refreshments will be offered and books will be available for purchase. The event is free to attend.

In the previous lesson, students completed a real or hypothetical mail-in ballot application. In this lesson, they will learn how to complete and return their mail-in ballot, as well as how to find their polling place and to cast their ballot in person. They will also learn how to cast a provisional ballot as a last resort. It’s important to walk students through these processes.

The Give Us A Ballot event is a nonpartisan collaboration between the Philadelphia Mayor’s Office of Youth Engagement, the City Commissioners, Committee of Seventy, and PA Youth Vote to invite Philadelphia students to City Hall to celebrate national vote early day, civic engagement, and casting their first ballot. Students will have the opportunity to create and deliver civically inspired speeches and artwork, engage with local community organizations and more!
