Join us for breakfast, a How City Council Works presentation, and a Q&A with our VP of Policy, Andrew McGinley, to learn how legislation moves through Council, what to watch for during the day’s meeting, and how residents can engage in the legislative process. Then, we’ll walk together to City Hall to observe a live Philadelphia City Council Stated Meeting. City Council starts promptly at 10 a.m. and you’re welcome to find your own seats and stay for as long as you’d like. Register here by September 21st!
