We’re excited to continue to connect you to sustainable solutions, particularly on how local government is serving you sustainable solutions.
Green Philly has been selected as a media partner in the Every Voice, Every Vote initiative, joining over 70 Philadelphia media organizations and community groups.
This coalition, funded by $2.875 million from The Lenfest Institute for Journalism, will run projects through December 2025, focusing on public safety, housing, education, and more. The initiative encourages residents to be heard, engage in civic events, hold officials accountable, and take action to drive positive change in the city.
We’re excited to announce that Green Philly freelancer Angie Bacha is our Civics Reporter for this initiative. Bacha is a Philadelphia-based solutions journalist and recent Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Journalism, Media and Globalisation student in Aarhus, Denmark.
