The Committee of Seventy is an independent, omni-partisan advocate for better government in Philadelphia that attempts to achieve clean and effective government, better elections, and informed and engaged citizens. Founded in 1904, it is a nonprofit organization guided by a board of directors made up of business, legal, and civic leaders. They have an app focused on their WeVote initiative. They also sponsor an anti-gerrymandering initiative called Draw the Lines PA. In 1904, the Committee of Seventy was set up with the goal of making voting better, getting more competent and honest people into government, fighting corruption, and keeping people informed and involved in the important issues of the day. The group was a big reason why changes were made to the civil service and why the Home Rule Charters of 1919 and 1951 were passed. By the mid-century, Seventy had broadened its focus to include public policy and civic education. More information...
