The Philadelphia Citizen’s Ideas We Should Steal Festival presented by Comcast NBCUniversal returns for its 7th year. We scoured the country for the changemakers and innovators whose transformative ideas could fuel much-needed progress in our city. The mission: to expand the problem-solving table, inspire change and bask in hope.
NOVEMBER 14, OPENING NIGHT FILM SCREENING, Fitler Club Ballroom, 1 South 24th Street
