Everyone deserves dignity and respect
We have each other
A community of Philadelphia neighbors looking out for each other.
The Future Belongs to Us is a community organization in Philadelphia. We throw block parties, clean up the block, share meals, take families to the zoo, and watch the games together.
We believe two things:
What we have should be shared so everyone gets to live a good life
If that sounds like you, you're already one of us.
Come to a gathering.
We host something every month. A cookout, a cleanup, a watch party. Bring your kids and bring a friend.

I'm not alone. I belong to a larger community. I belong to a community that truly cares.”
I met more of my neighbors in one cookout than in ten years on my block. Now we look out for each other.”
My kids ask when the next block party is before they ask about anything else. This is what a neighborhood is supposed to feel like.”
The cleanup turned into a cookout, and the cookout turned into friends.”
Somebody watched my kids so I could work a double. That's what this is.”
I came for the Birds watch party. I stayed for the people.”
My block feels like a block again.”
We planted a garden where there used to be trash. My grandkids helped.”
I didn't know my neighbors' names. Now they're in my phone.”
Every month there's something to look forward to. My whole family comes.”
