The signing of the executive order reaffirmed the important role that the Commission plays in ensuring that there is a system in place and people in power to address the needs of African and Caribbean communities in Philadelphia.

Being The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection means that Philadelphia must have the tools and resources to welcome those who need help and or seek refuge.
