The Kids’ Campaign is the first of its kind in Philadelphia – a nonpartisan effort that is not backing a candidate and that defines the election solely on the safety of children and youth. Through candidate questionnaires and forums, The Kids’ Campaign will share with voting parents and young adults the information they need to determine which candidate will keep Philly’s children safe.
The Kids Agenda
What does the next Mayor of Philadelphia need to do to make every day safer than the last? The Kids Campaign has developed a list of core beliefs so that the candidates for Mayor know what kids need to be S.E.C.U.R.E. They need Safety, Education, Careers, Uplift, Recreation, and a healthy Environment. Read the agenda in SPANISH or CHINESE.

Candidate Responses
We asked the candidates for mayor to pledge their support to the Kids Agenda. Because promises are not enough, we then asked them HOW they will make each plank a reality. See which candidate responded and what they will do for kids as mayor. Less than half of Mayoral Candidates Tell Voters What They’ll Do for Children > Read The Press Release Here
