Fighting for those
society has left behind
A radical abolitionist movement dedicated to fighting systemic injustice and building a city where every person has housing, safety, and opportunity.
Power comes from the people
Philly People of Hope is a radical abolitionist movement dedicated to fighting systemic injustice and building a city where every person has housing, safety, and opportunity. We stand with those who are most often silenced — the unhoused, disabled, and marginalized — and challenge the corrupt systems that exploit them.
Our work combines grassroots organizing, community education, and policy advocacy to hold the City of Philadelphia accountable. From exposing unsafe and inhumane shelter conditions to drafting policies like the Safe Air & Mold Accountability Act, we fight for real protections and lasting change.
Rooted in the belief that power comes from the people, not broken institutions, Philly People of Hope is more than an organization — it is a movement. Together, we are building a future where justice, safety, and respect are not privileges, but rights for all.
Our Values
These principles guide everything we do and keep us accountable to the communities we serve.
Dignity for All
We believe every human being deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their housing status.
Community Driven
Our work is powered by the community, listening to those directly affected and centering their voices.
Amplifying Voices
We provide platforms for the unheard, ensuring their stories and needs reach decision-makers.
Protection & Safety
We fight to expose unsafe conditions and demand accountability from systems meant to serve.
