Shawn Moss is a DSA tenant organizer running to put power in the hands of working people and create a Philadelphia that cares.
For years, Shawn lived paycheck to paycheck, moving from one unsafe apartment to another while paying extortionate rent to live with black mold and hazardous conditions.
He knows what it feels like to have your basic survival held hostage. He knows the powerlessness of having your basic survival needs held hostage by someone else's greed.
It’s humiliating.
He got tired of feeling that way, so he started organizing.
He organized low-income seniors against corrupt, private landlords and won real victories.
Now, he's running for City Council At-Large to bring that organizing to City Hall and build collective power for working people across Philly.
