What is Our Philadelphia?
Our Philadelphia is a community website designed to both provide information to Philadelphians about the role of money in local politics and allow users to investigate these issues for themselves. A project of Common Cause PA made possible by the Samuel S. Fels Fund, Our Philadelphia gives citizens the information and the tools they need to expose threats to the public interest, and to hold their elected officials more accountable.
