Mission Statement
PHILLY THRIVE ORGANIZES FOR A GREEN ECONOMY We the people won back our Right to Breathe from a century of oil refining in South Philadelphia, and now justice is due. In October 2020, Philly Thrive launched our multi-year Right to Thrive campaign, seeking to repair 154 years of violence by achieving a complete clean up of the former refinery land, dignified jobs & investment in surrounding neighborhoods, and a permanent seat at the table for residents most impacted by the refinery. As the largest redevelopment since Philly was founded as a city, we will organize residents across neighborhoods and backgrounds to uproot environmental racism during the land’s rebirth so that future generations can Thrive in our city.
Description
Through our organizing, Philly Thrive won a permanent closure of the PES oil refinery and an end to 154 years of pollution. Our current campaign contests for justice in the historic refinery site redevelopment - together we’re organizing to win a complete cleanup of the site and robust reinvestment in our neighborhoods. Philly Thrive also runs robust community support programs, including a youth summer camp, a gun violence healing circle, a women’s support circle, and a weekly food box delivery. We will continue to build people- power until everyone has a Right to Breathe, free from pollution, oppression, and a violent economy.
