Philly DSA considers candidates for endorsement who commit to running as democratic socialists and growing working-class power.

• Will Gross is a labor organizer with AFSCME DC 47, organizing cultural workers across Philly and fighting to win strong contracts and build democratic unions. He also worked with the No Arena in Chinatown coalition to defend the neighborhood from the failed 76ers arena.

• Shawn Moss is a tenant organizer who organized low-income seniors at Brith Sholom House. That campaign led to the PHA's purchase of the building, the creation of deeply affordable housing, and a right to return for tenants.

• Vik Patel became a public interest lawyer at Community Legal Services in the Energy Unit, where he fought to help keep Philadelphians in their homes and with the lights on. He also helped establish the City’s Eviction Diversion Program.
