Priority Areas

INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND GOOD JOBS

For Philadelphia to reach its full potential, we must create more high-quality, high-wage 21st century jobs, build an inclusive economy with opportunities for all, and reinvigorate neighborhood commercial districts in all corners of the city.

EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE MODERNIZATION

Too many Philadelphia citizens cannot access the right skills for a modern workforce or are otherwise shut out from available jobs.

SAFE AND HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS

Too many of our neighborhoods and local micro-economies are damaged by crime, gun violence, substance abuse, and all of the disruption, pain, and loss that attend these problems. We need a shared commitment to bring the entire city’s resources to bear on these challenges.
