When we hosted the Freedom Express Tour, we brought congregations across the state to speak to power regarding our democratic process. With the midterm elections coming up, we are reminded of the work and trust needed in the democratic process that starts with our own stories and voices. Our votes carry weight, and is the true catalyst for the change we want to see in our communities. This is how we address stagnant wages, falling infrastructure, and policies that haven't addressed our pain. Though our voice. Through our vote.

There are so many ways to help make this work possible, visit: tiny...

Mail in voting has been apart of our democratic process for centuries. This election cycle, we remind everyone that they have the right to vote by mail-in ballot without needing a reason as long as they are registered and make the application deadline by October 27. It's time to stand for democracy and our right to vote!

We're continuing to celebrate 15 years of POWER, bringing stories from our legacy to the forefront! Wes Lanthrop helped lead the charge when POWER was just a few people meeting in church pews. His leadership helped us in our early organizing efforts in Philadelphia, especially in the fight we took with the airport staff until they were awarded fair wages. He reminds that faith doesn't sit still, it moves towards action.

The stats don't lie. Property tax hikes are impacting our most vulnerable communities in Philadelphia and we can't stay silent about it. Current policies are forcing community members to make impossible choices leaving them sick, unhoused and furthermore unsupported by the city that's supposed to be serving them. Let's call this exactly what it is; a catastrophe. A storm. This is why we are coming together, bringing our communities together to initiate long-lasting change.

Activism and organizing can be confused with one another, so we’re drawing a dividing line. Organizing builds long term community power and builds leadership from within. Activism raises high awareness was for short term action. The only way forward is taking the long way. Organizing is how we truly move policy forward that priorities peoples needs. Visit www.powerinterfaith.org to learn how you can build long term community and power.

We've heard it all before. "Trickle down economics will catch up to the working class" We've seen the consequences of policies that prioritize the billionaire and business class of Philadelphia. Communities are stuck choosing between rent and healthcare. Kids lose schools and the communities they brought. Enough is enough. We are bringing our communities and congregations together to create policy that responds to the people; not the wealthy.

As we continue to celebrate our legacy, we look back at our earlier organizing in Philadelphia. We've always championed affordability and better wages for the workforce that keeps our city moving. Take a look back as we stood with air port workers striking until they reached a settlement that guaranteed higher wages and a true path to freedom. Our work continues as we work with city council to make Philly affordable for the entire city.
