John – I am so pleased to announce that my Civics Agenda package has made significant progress in the Philadelphia City Council. The passage of these bills is crucial in ensuring every resident of our city can access the ballots in this year’s midterm elections. Democrats nationwide will face their toughest race yet. We must turn out every voter possible.

While tremendous progress has been made in improving the voting system here in Philadelphia, I know that we can do even better. Voting is at the heart of our democracy — chip in now so that I can continue my work on this critical issue.

DONATE

Democrats in Congress fought tirelessly to provide much-needed aid to our city through the American Rescue Plan, and I’m calling for our City to use this funding to increase wages, reduce taxes, and fix the crumbling infrastructure within our schools.

Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers at federal, state, and local levels are implementing voter suppression laws across the country to rig the elections in their favor. Under Republican leadership, our state and our city would not receive the funding that it so urgently needs.

This is why I am passionate about enacting my Civics Agenda legislative package — in the face of such grave attacks on our democracy, we must be prepared to fight back by making voting as easy as possible and reinstating trust in the electoral system.

If you’re able to, please donate $10 before this month’s end-of-quarter fundraising deadline to help me continue fighting for transformative progress in Philadelphia.

Thank you,

Derek Green
