  • "As a resident in your district, I expect you to use your power to protect Philadelphia from harmful projects like 76 Place. If legislation is introduced, I urge you to vote against the development of this project."

    This is just a starting place! Mention anything that’s important to you: traffic, small business outcomes, preservation of Chinatown and the Gayborhood, preventing billionaire overreach, the high likelihood this project will not be privately funded, threats to the Jefferson ER, etc...the list goes on.

  • Squilla’s district includes the proposed arena site. This gives him political leverage known in Philly as “councilmanic prerogative.” If you live in his district (District 1), be sure to let him know—but call him either way.

    Be sure to call Kenyatta Johnson, too: as council president, Johnson helps steer the city’s agenda and influences major votes.

  • Let Mayor Parker know her endorsement of this project is a serious mistake. Her number is (215) 686-2181.

  • Call the at-large members of council, who represent everyone in the city:

    • Katherine Gilmore Richardson, (215) 686-0454

    • Isiah Thomas, (215) 686-3446

    • Jim Harrity, (215) 686-8295

    • Nina Ahmad, (215) 686-3450

    • Rue Landau, (215) 686-3420

    • Kendra Brooks, (215) 686-0461

    • Nicolas O’Rourke, (215) 686-3452

Chinatown’s opposition is clear, and so is Washington Square West’s—conveniently, the mayor now insists this is a city-wide issue.

EMAIL MARK SQUILLA

Mark Squilla’s district includes the proposed arena site. This gives him political leverage known in Philly as “councilmanic prerogative.” Getting Councilmember Squilla to hear the power of the public’s opposition to the project is crucial to preventing its construction.
