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.

“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.

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.
