To Philadelphia, 2276

Commemorated May 2026


We descend from those who first declared our freedom, those denied it, those who fought for it and those who defend it still. We hold fast to our grit, grace and good humor.

We remain a city of immigrants and makers, where hard work and honesty mix with creativity, invention and love of neighbor. We honor no tool before the people it serves. Hoagies endure.

Come what may, Philadelphians still walk, sit on steps and solve more problems than we create. We build to last and put art on the walls. From democracy’s many messy hands, we shape a freer, fairer, more human future.

They do not all love us, but they remember us. We will still boo you.
