    The Land Justice Campaign Arrives at City Hall

    On January 28, 2021, PCAC members held a press conference at City Hall to launch our campaign.

    Land Justice

    The Philadelphia Coalition for Affordable Communities is calling for the passage of legislation that supports the disposition of publicly-owned property for community-led affordable development.

    We have legislation introduced that could get us permanent affordability and community control of city-owned vacant land, but that bill is not yet in committee. We’re asking people who have a shared vision for our city to amplify our calls for action. We want to take this time to thank our legislative champion and co-sponsors, but also let the Philadelphia City Council know we’re all watching.

    To help the many organizations and individuals who support #LandJustice4PHL, we are providing sample content to share with your social media networks on Twitter and Facebook. Please share content from this social media toolkit starting Wednesday, March 23, at noon EST. Thank you for taking the time to help us amplify this important message.
