Philly Thrive

Philly Thrive is a multiracial, cross-class movement for Environmental Justice. We organize in Grays Ferry, the former home to the largest oil refinery on the East Coast, which poisoned generations of Black residents until we won its permanent closure in 2020. We address its lasting impacts holistically: we organize our community, tend to immediate needs, and advocate for South Philadelphia neighborhood investments that value housing, clean air, green space, and the quality of life residents deserve.
