The Committee of Seventy fights for clean and effective government, fair elections and a better informed citizenry in Philadelphia and the region.
The Committee of Seventy was established in 1904 for the express purpose of combating corruption in Philadelphia, playing a major role in the adoption of civil service reforms and the passage of the 1919 and 1951 Home Rule Charters.
A nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, Seventy does not endorse candidates or represent any special interests.
