"Philadelphia has made extraordinary progress since 2007, when PennFuture and 130 other community, faith, environmental, business, and union organizations declared that the City of Brotherly Love could be the Next Great City if everyone worked together to create cleaner, safer & healthier neighborhoods. Since Mayor Michael Nutter took office, the coalition and the mayor have accomplished nearly all 10 action steps the coalition sought.
On St. Patrick's Day 2011, the Coalition launched Next Great City 2 -- bringing candidates for Philadelphia City Council into the NGC fold. This time, all City Council candidates are being asked to commit to five additional action steps.
This video podcast - which you can watch on our podcast site or on PennFuture's YouTube Channel -- features that Campaign launch, which was held at the Academy of Natural Sciences, which is home -- as you will plainly hear -- to an African parrot which added its two cents to the event.
You can communicate with PennFuture many ways - by phone or mail, on the web, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogs, podcasts, and our events, of course. So join us wherever you wish, and become a member. You'll be happy you did."
Thank you to PennFuture for posting!
