A Sweet Victory for Working Families

With a resounding knock of the gavel, a Common Pleas Court judge ruled the City’s beverage tax to be lawful, dismissing the soda industry’s lawsuit against the city, “in its entirety,” reported the Inquirer.

A sweet victory for working families, child advocates and the key leaders and organizations in Philadelphia, the beverage tax will fund the significant expansion of quality pre-k as well as the rebuilding of crumbling recreation centers, playgrounds and libraries.

Thanks to our supporters, PCCY was there from the very beginning, organizing neighborhood rallies, media tours of recreation centers, face-to-face meetings with Council members, op-ed articles, as well as managing a dominant social media presence. Thank you for making a difference!

While we may have had great success this year, there is still so much to do—and 2017 may prove to be our most challenging year yet. We’re up to the task but we can’t do it without your support.

You know our kids are worth it.

Consider making a gift and help make the lives of children better today.
