Philly’s progressive left is plotting a City Council takeover in 2027

On a weeknight in a church basement in North Philadelphia, the talk is not about sermons. It is about who will hold the gavel, the zoning pen, and the power to slow a rent increase. Activists who spent recent cycles winning scattered seats are now speaking in the language of majorities.

The ambition is early, public, and still untested by a ballot. What is clear is the calendar. Municipal primaries in this city are decided long before posters go up, and the people plotting a takeover know it.

A novel approach to combatting gentrification is working in Kensington

In 2023, J.C. Zerbe, community advocate and acclaimed muralist, welcomed an unusual offer: a spiffy, brand-new space for below-market rent. The offer came from the Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT). Most landlords buy buildings to hold onto them, but KCT buys properties to give them away — rehabbing them and transferring them to community ownership.
