5th Square, Philly's urbanist PAC and advocacy organization is hosting a candidate meet & greet on Thursday, March 2nd at 6:30 PM, at Buffalo Billiards (Upstairs) in Old City.  We will be welcoming candidates for the Mayor and City Council running in the upcoming primary on May 16th.

This will be a great opportunity to come and get to know the candidates and hear their takes on roadway safety, public space, public transit and housing.

This event will kick off our membership voting period to determine our endorsements for the 2023 election cycle. Read all of the candidates' questionnaire responses here.

These meet-ups are casual social gatherings, and are intended as a fun way for new and existing supporters to connect with other people involved with 5th Square and urbanist issues in Philadelphia, either professionally or in a volunteer/activist capacity, and learn more about what our all-volunteer organization is up to. If you are a new member and have been meaning to check out one of our events or meetings but haven't made it out yet, this will be a good first one to come to.
