PNN’s mission is to engage, educate and empower our neighbors to make our City a better place to live. Here’s what’s coming up in each of these areas:
Engage: Do Your Part This Election - Buddy Canvass & Postcards!
Educate: Financing Philly's Future with Eric McClelland

Get Off that Couch and Save Democracy!
Now thru Election Day
You would think that everyone is fully engaged on the upcoming presidential election, but you would be wrong. Too many people have tuned out, not understanding the very real threat that the MAGA monsters pose to our nation. The good news is that if Philly has a big turnout, we win Pennsylvania. Remember, no Democrat in modern times has won the White House without wining the Keystone State.
Sign up to canvass to talk with voters (particularly, low-turnout) about Kamala Harris' record and plans for the future, the nefarious plans of Trump/Vance and the GOP's Project 2025, and why their vote can make the difference.
If you'd like to help now through Election Day, whether it's buddy canvassing, postcards, voter registration, or making phone calls, please click below to let us know.
