It’s Time For A New Social Contract! Featuring Naomi Klein
Event Information
About this event
Join bestselling author and journalist Naomi Klein and National Director of The Working Families Party Maurice Mitchell in conversation with Philadelphia community leaders on how we can build a new social contract for our best possible future. We'll begin with opening remarks from Working Families candidate for Philly City Council At-large Kendra Brooks, and hear from local speakers including Kris Henderson (Amistad Law Project); Nancy Nguyen (Alliance for a Just Philadelphia); Esteban Kelley (U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives); and Nora Elmarzouky (Philadelphia Climate Works). Discussion moderated by Cathy Albisa of the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative.
With our climate, democracy, and economy all unraveling at once, our current social contract needs to be replaced with something capable of meeting the challenges of our time. Our communities and social movements already have the solutions. The New Social Contract Tour is bringing national and local leaders together to raise the profile of these solutions and impact the national conversation.
We can, and must, fight for and build this future together.
Sponsored by 215 People's Alliance; Rights & Democracy; Working Families Party; Center For Popular Democracy; Media, Inequality & Change Center; and National Economic and Social Rights Initiative.

Organizer of It’s Time For A New Social Contract! Featuring Naomi Klein
The New Social Contract project advances comprehensive, transformative, community and worker led solutions that offer an alternative to our current system and a possible future for our country grounded in democracy, equity and rights. In 2019, joined by Rights and Democracy, Race Forward, Working Families Party and Policy Link, we launched the New Social Contract tour to create a national dialogue about the change our country needs.
