We believe Philly needs a better plan. Do you?
The 10k Independents Project is a coalition of people and orgs working together to shape the landscape of our city by advocating for the existing Independent workforce, and helping 10,000 Philadelphians become sustainably self-employed over the next 10 years.
We know that real change requires unity and coordination, and we want to ensure that our next mayor is aligned with our collective interests.
Not just the interests of the small business community, but for anyone who wants Philly to do economic development differently.
Note: The 10k Independents Project is not backing any specific candidates. Our agenda is transparent, and our organization is led by engaged citizens and small business owners. We aren’t here to tell you what to think, or even ask you for money.
Instead, we’re working to coordinate and unify our networks and communities to ensure our next Mayor works with us, not just for us.
We want to meet you where you are. No political wonkery, just talking to each other like the neighbors and fellow citizens we are.
