Fair City Challenge Launch!
Join us for the launch of The Economy League's Fair City Challenge!
The Fair City Challenge is an social entrepreneurship competition designed to identify, accelerate, and invest in bold solutions to help revalue property in historically disinvested Philadelphia neighborhoods - while preventing displacement.
Join us on April 17 as we announce the participants in the Fair City Challenge!
We're also thrilled to offer you an opportunity to be one of the first to get your hands on Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It, the latest book by Dr. Andre M. Perry of the Brookings Institution, one of the leading scholars of racial and structural inequity in the US.
Inspired by Dr. Perry's 2020 book Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities, the Fair City Challenge will incubate, accelerate, and invest in the most innovative and impactful solutions for revaluing property in historically undervalued Philadelphia neighborhoods. The Economy League's Know Your Price, Philly report identified a $57 billion equity gap in housing in Philadelphia.
As part of the official launch of the Challenge, Dr. Perry will be visiting Philadelphia on April 17, 2025 to celebrate the release of Black Power Scorecard. In partnership with Uncle Bobbie's Bookshop, we are offering exclusive copies signed by the author. Don’t miss your chance to take home a personalized, autographed copy.
