Philly Neighborhood Networks Justice Fund (c3)
2025 Programs
PNN spent 2024 performing community work – resource fairs, food giveaways, summer BBQs, street clean-ups, and educational events – to reach black and brown citizens in low-engagement neighborhoods. We intend to expand upon our work in 2025 to continue to build the trust necessary to move these folks to take part in their government. We intend to mix our in-person work with a series of creative social media.
2024 Programs
Our goal is to build trust in long-ignored neighborhoods. Our immersive work will combine community-centered tactics with voter registration and assistance with mail-in ballots.
Mission
Our mission is to engage, educate, and empower our neighbors to support candidates and policies that put people and the planet before profit. We envision a society healed of trauma and oppression, that affirms universal human rights to healthcare, education, food, housing, a living income, and a sustainable environment.
