The HOME plan + the Basic Systems Repair Program can bring real stability and dignity, but they’re only part of the solution. Philadelphia needs real, permanent revenue solutions. Read our full statement at www.powerinterfaith.org

The answer is no! Philadelphians are suffering a man-made affordability crisis. Recent tax cuts to the BIRT have are only benefiting big businesses and corporate investors. Our people are being displaced, and being forced to make impossible decisions between what bills they can pay each month.

This past weekend our faith leaders stood united against Philly’s harmful BIRT tax cuts. As Jayson Massey shared, they’ll cost the city $2.8B and force residents to carry the load. We’re organizing hard ahead of our Feb 1 assembly. Read the full story here: chestnuthilllocal.com/stories/fait...

The BIRT tax cuts are squeezing families citywide, and our congregations are pushing back. Tomorrow, Northwest Philly gathers at Germantown Friends (6–8pm) to take the next step in demanding a city that invests in people—not corporations. Join us: www.powerinterfaith.org/calendar

The PA budget passed—and it’s a win for justice in education. 🙌 Faith leaders, parents, and organizers stood together and made this happen. This is what #FaithInAction looks like. Read our full press release here powerinterfaith.org/category/pre... #powerinterfaith #educationjustice #pabudget

Yesterday, we gathered at Saint Vincent DePaul Catholic Parish demanding one thing; an affordable Philadelphia. The recent cuts to the BIRT tax keep corporations flourishing, but keep the people suffering. Read the piece from @whyynews.bsky.social whyy.org/articles/phi...

“The time to fund our schools is now.” — Gary Sieling, POWER Member PA schools are borrowing money just to keep the lights on. This is a moral failure. Link to our recent press piece: www.thereporteronline.com/2025/10/10/l... #socialjustice #educationjustice

Philadelphia Gas Works isn’t just raising bills. They’re spending YOUR money to sell a lie. Their ads rebrand dirty, expensive methane gas as “clean,” exploiting safety PSAs to greenwash fossil fuels. Philly deserves transparency & a real clean energy future. whyy.org/articles/pgw...

In a first-of-a-kind class-action lawsuit, a coalition sues the EPA for terminating the $3 billion ECJ block grant program: “an unlawful action that went against the will of Congress and violated the separation of powers.” #EJ #EPA #Climate buff.ly/Skj3eRr @theguardian.com

Props to Penn Environment, @votesolar.bsky.social, local press, elected officials and residents to come together and celebrate a clean energy victory in the PGW clean energy settlement today. We have a TON of challenges ahead of us. But we ALSO have to celebrate successes and replicate them.

Full and fair funding in Pennsylvania school districts is not just a request, but a demand. We invite all PA residents to join in on our weekly action series, where they take action and get students that much closer to being fully and fairly funded.

🚨 Yesterday, the PA Senate voted to keep public school funding flat — ignoring a court order to fix our unconstitutional system. This isn’t just politics. It’s a betrayal of Pennsylvania’s children.

We’re not backing down. No final budget without full and fair funding and cyber charter reform. 🗣️ Our communities deserve a system that works for students—not corporations. Full story: lancasteronline.com/news/politic... #PowerInterfaith #SocialJustice #FairFundingNow #educationjustice

Our Faces of Justice platform invites Pennsylvanians fighting for racial and social justice to share their stories as we continue to organize throughout the Commonwealth for cleaner air, affordable housing, economic dignity and full and fairly funded education. powerinterfaith.org/news/facesof...

www.inquirer.com/opinion/lett... DC33’s strike is over—but the deeper injustice remains. The city found room in its budget to give businesses a tax break. But for the public workers who clean our streets, fix our roads, and keep our city running? The response was: “we don’t have the money.”

“You never had an adequate education—and now they say you’ve failed.” Our Education Justice organizer, Beth Logue lays it out: underfunded schools aren’t failing—the system is. Read her letter in the @PhillyInquirer: www.inquirer.com/opinion/lett...

City workers shouldn’t have to fight for what they’ve already earned. AFSCME DC33 workers are still waiting on a fair contract. They deserve raises. 📞 Call Mayor Parker: 215-686-2181 Tell her to settle the contract with DC33 now. #powerinterfaith #socialjustice #communityorganizing #RespectDC33

85% of Philly congregants have seen new developments in their neighborhoods. But let’s tell the truth—these projects aren’t being built for us. They bring rent hikes, not relief. Displacement, not dignity. We’re called to build communities rooted in justice—not profit. 👉 powerinterfaith.org

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we lift up the human right to housing, education, and environmental safety — for everyone. The vulnerable should be protected. Let's organize to ensure they can thrive! #powerinterfaith #socialjustice #communityorganizing #ClimateJustice #EducationEquity
