We are now taking some time to regroup and plan for future efforts based on our collective principles of listening, amplifying, and connecting.

More from us in September. Stay safe and well.

We have been active since the Salary Transparency spreadsheet launched in mid-2019. We thank everyone who joined us in volunteering time and energy to that and other organizing initiatives in the months since.

Congrats to @PMA_Union for joining @PHLafscmeDC47! Art is a huge part of Philly’s culture and identity and must be protected - that means paintings but also workers. We appreciate your labor and passion, looking forward to what’s next.
