Grays Ferry Plan for Advocacy
Philadelphia has a rich history replete with stories of incredible triumph by community organizers and grassroots organizations. Grays Ferry has consistently played a key role in organizing, especially as issues of environmental injustice bubble to the surface of wider public consciousness. Since the nearby refinery which has marred the community for over a century has ceased operations, outside attention has turned to Grays Ferry, threatening longtime residents with residential displacement.
