5th Square Advocacy

5th Square Advocacy is a nonprofit organization working towards a more accessible, sustainable, and equitable Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Through grassroots organizing, we mobilize neighbors to advocate for people-centered communities. At all levels of government, we fight for policies that promote abundant housing, safe roadways, and accessible transit.

At 5th Square Advocacy, we’re passionate about transforming Philadelphia into a more accessible, sustainable, and equitable city for everyone.

By fostering grassroots political engagement, we mobilize our members and community members to advocate for people-centric cities. 5th Square Advocacy drives impactful policy changes at all levels of government and across all sectors.

Our name represents the vital connection between politics, transportation, and public space, anchored in the heart of our city: City Hall. Through advocacy, events, and collaboration with like-minded organizations, we’re building a robust coalition of voices to shape a better Philadelphia for all its residents.
