John, voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. Uplifting diverse voices and perspectives to shape the policies which define our future make us stronger, and moves us forward.

However, in last week’s primary election, voter turnout across Philadelphia was only 23.14%.

That is why I am working so hard right now on Council to advance my Civics Agenda to increase voter participation, create more trust in the electoral process, and strengthen democracy in our city.

The Civics Agenda is a package of bills aimed at increasing voter participation through the following measures:

• Strengthening the city’s conflict of interest laws
• Expanding protections for whistleblowers who file complaints with or seek advice from the Board of Ethics
• Creating a public financing program for city elections
• Establishing the Inspector General as an independent, permanent office

And that’s just the start — our democracy is strongest when all perspectives are heard and valued, and now I need your help advancing this agenda in Philadelphia.

Let’s step up together to strengthen our democracy and uplift everyone’s voice. Sign my petition today to support my Civics Agenda and help me increase voter participation in Philly→

Thank you for taking action,

Derek Green
