Ed Rendell honor city workers

Be an Integrity Icon

Here's how

One of the founding tenets of The Philadelphia Citizen is to get people the resources they need to become better, more engaged citizens of their city.

We hope to do that in our Good Citizenship Toolkit, which includes a host of ways to get involved in Philadelphia — whether you want to contact your City Councilmember about the challenges facing your community, get those experiencing homelessness the goods they need, or simply go out to dinner somewhere where you know your money is going toward a greater good.

Find an issue that’s important to you in the list below, and get started on your journey of A-plus citizenship.

Vote and strengthen democracy

Stand up for marginalized communities

Create a cleaner, greener Philadelphia

Help our local youth and schools succeed

Support local businesses

The Citizen celebrated our five spectacular Integrity Icon winners on Thursday night with a party that included former Mayor Michael Nutter and other public officials.

Former Pennsylvania Governor and Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell was unable to attend the party honoring these above-and-beyond city workers — but he recorded a video congratulating each of our Icons, and the work they and their offices do to provide the best service for Philadelphians.

See what he had to say below:
