  • Through service projects that directly meet the needs of our communities, we put our values into practice while planting the seeds of a larger movement to transform society for the benefit of all.
  • Values
  • Everything we do is driven by commitment to our core values.
  • Science
  • Science means being willing to admit when you're wrong. We don't have all the answers, so we test our assumptions, experiment, and learn from our successes and mistakes.

  • Democracy means giving everyone a voice. We all help decide what we're going to do and how we're going to do it.
  • Human Rights
  • Human Rights means defending the inherent value of every person, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
  • Politics
  • We're proud of our projects, but they're not enough.
  • The problems that we address with our projects ultimately have larger systemic causes--poverty, racism, political corruption , and economic exploitation. Projects can improve our communities, but as long as the government and economy remain the same , we're not going to be able to fix these underlying problems.
  • This is where Philly Socialists differs from non-profits. They just treat symptoms. We're trying to overcome the root causes, which means building a political movement to fundamentally change American society to make it more democratic, equitable, and humane. In a word, socialist.
