The Campaign to Take Back Vacant Land has been hard at work over the past few months to get a land bank bill community members can trust. Our Compassion Team working with the campaign has been showing up at council regularly, sharing testimonies, and fighting to win the version of the bill that Philadelphia neighbors can benefit from and be invested in. Among the 100 people that gathered in council last week, Jonny Rashid, one of our pastors, spoke to the vitality of the land bank. An amended version of the bill has been passed and with some more effort will be won by the end of 2013! Keep praying with us and our neighbors for our communities across the city.
