DAG Alert: Vote in the Primary Election tomorrow!
DAG members!
As usual, the upcoming primary election will not generate a large voter turnout.
That means that every vote, especially yours, really counts.
And with five City Council members leaving their posts, the election presents a unique opportunity to bring a new wave of progressive leaders to our city.
As a DAG member, you understand the important role that high-quality planning and design have in shaping the future of our city, but not many of the candidates for City Council share that understanding. So, read up on all the candidates and be sure to vote this Tuesday, May 17, for the candidates who will work hardest to shape the Philadelphia you hope to live in.
Best,
Joanne Aitken, Chair
