Lauren Cristella: Community + Action are the Antidote

When democratic values are under threat and hope feels distant, remember that collective action with and for your community can make a difference. Join Lauren Cristella for her Sunday Platform at the Philadelphia Ethical Society on Rittenhouse Square on March 1st.

It was Lauren’s passion for active citizenship, strong public leadership and practical policy-making that led her to the Committee of 70. The Committee of Seventy (C70) is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization which advocates for the improvement of government in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Founded in 1904, its board of directors is made up of 70 business, legal, and civic leaders. The Committee of Seventy focuses on issues such as elections and voting, campaign finance, ethics and transparency, and redistricting. In June 2023, Lauren was named President & CEO, the first woman to serve in that role in the organization’s 120+year history. She will speak at this upcoming platform about democracy, taking action, and the power of community
