Iglesias Gardens is building the Philadelphia Land Stewards Union, an organization of neighbors who use and care for vacant lots working together to solve our problems.
We want to see the people who steward land having a say in what happens to it. We want our neighbors, whether they are homeowners or renters, to have priority over developers and investors in getting their lots, and we want the process to be easier and more inclusive. If the power holders don’t want to do this for us, then we have to come together and make them. That is why we are a mass membership organization—the more members we have, the bigger the demands we can make and the bigger we can win for our communities. There is Power in a Union!
If you are interested in getting involved or learning more, please fill out our contact form.
We rely on member dues and supporter donations to sustain our organizing. If you’d like to support the union, you can donate to our project fund.
