Thank you for being a loyal reader of our newsletter and member of Philly Neighborhood Networks. It's hard to believe that 2025 will be our 20th year as an organization. Formed on the heels of the 2004 John Kerry campaign, PNN became a thing the following year as activists across the city reached out to their networks of people to share information and plan actions and events on the issues they cared about.
Here we are on the cusp of 2025, a year that threatens to be filled with chaos. We don't know what the future holds for us, but we do know that we will face it together. For that, we thank you and pledge that we have your back, too. Our planning begins in the new year, but for now, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!
The Team at PNN

All-Hands Meeting in January
Saturday, January 25th, 2-4PM, Germantown Life Enrichment Center (GLEC)
Please mark your calendar! You want to be a part of this in-person meeting at GLEC, located at 5722 Greene Street, so that we can reflect on the first week of chaos from the trump administration, and offer some plans to respond together as a team. Planning continues and we'll keep you updated.
We’ll also report on work already underway on local campaigns that can put us on the offensive right here in Philly against the billionaire class that Trump is fronting for. And we will share ideas that we and our allies are developing to strengthen our connections to communities around the city, both to lift them up, and to open up more impactful ways to build interest in voting. We'll keep you updated.
