Reclaim Philadelphia is a member-led organization that builds community power to win change, reclaim government for the people, and advance economic, racial, and gender justice.

They will be eager to think outside the boxes and traps of the nonprofit world and work as a partner with the Board and member-leaders to experiment to create powerful new models of success that combine the reliability of paid staff with the scalability and true power of member-led organizing.
