Seventy to provide research and oversight to bolster local candidate information

While students wait for their mail-in ballot or to vote in-person on Election Day, they can find out what offices and candidates are on their ballot. (45 minutes)

Draw the Lines PA (DTL) is barnstorming the state this fall to launch its three-year initiative to inform and engage Pennsylvanians around gerrymandering and democratic reform.

The Committee of Seventy recently marked its 120th anniversary with a special event titled “America at a Crossroads,” reflecting on the 2024 election and its critical place within the broader context of American democracy. The evening, two weeks after the presidential election, featured a thought-provoking discussion between CNN anchor Chris Wallace and 6abc’s Tamala Edwards.

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.

Sweeping changes to state election law set a foundation for further reform

On Election Day, November 5, 2024, the Committee of Seventy, OnePhillyConnect, and additional partners will host events at three high-traffic Philadelphia polling locations to promote civic pride and voter engagement. Activities will include interactive art installations, music, food and giveaways, aiming to create an environment that celebrates the democratic process.
