On Monday, October 5th, join us for a discussion all about Philadelphia’s Registered Community Organization (RCO) system, and why people who want better transportation and planning politics need to join their RCOs.

Joining your neighborhood organization is a great way to support many of our shared goals for making the built environment more accessible and sustainable. At our second Join Your RCO event, we’ll be introducing 5th Square members and interested community members to Philadelphia’s Registered Community Organization (RCO) system.

Learn about why this is such an important area of housing and transportation politics for our volunteers and members to get involved in, and hear from neighborhood leaders who are making progress through local volunteer leadership.

We plan to run this event a few times a year to inform and engage supporters of housing and transportation reform on this aspect of local politics, and encourage participants to get involved where they live. 

Moderator:

Sandy Vogel, 5th Square

Panelists:

Lauren Vidas - former President, South of South Neighborhood Association

De'Wayne Drummond - President, Mantua Civic Association, current Chair, Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition

Tashia Rayon - Program Manager, Centennial Parkside CDC
