Retrievr will come pick up your electronics recycling and clothing donations!
The
City of Philadelphia announced a partnership with Retrievr. Residents
can schedule free doorstep pickups for clothing and small electronics.
There’s a small fee to recycle larger electronics like TVs, microwaves
and air conditioners (which the state of PA legally requires you to
recycle).
Our
neighborhood has a deep-rooted and rich African American history. We
encourage you to learn more about the legacy of Black historical figures
and institutions by reading Evergreens, written by SOSNA's previous Programs Manager, Andrew Dalzell. The book is free but we ask you to contribute-what-you-can here.
100% of proceeds will be donated to Christian Street YMCA
(the first African-American YMCA in Philadelphia and fourth in the
country. Today, their wellness programming supports the mental and
physical health of neighboring Black communities), Marian Anderson Historical Society
(preserves the staggering life and home of Marian Anderson, one of the
most internationally acclaimed singers and advocates for Black singers
and artists in the twentieth century) andODUNDE
(an annual celebration of the African diaspora - started in 1975 by
Lois Fernandez, is the largest African celebration on the east coast
filled with vendors, performances and a spiritual offering).

RENAME TANEY STREET
Taney’s decision in the Dred Scott v.
Sandford case is one of the most racist and offensive decisions this
country has ever experienced. That is why it is about time to take
Taney’s name off our street signs and replace it with someone who we can
be proud of!
Our office will be closed until further notice. If you have any concerns or questions, you can reach our Executive Director, Nicole via email at nicoleatsosna@gmail.com.
