Each year, Tribute to Change brings together people who care about social justice in the Philadelphia region to connect with each other, to celebrate recent victories, and to raise money for the next chapter of the story of grassroots change.

The theme for this year’s Tribute to Change is “Turning the Tide: Climate Justice and the Fight for Liberation.” We will celebrate the individuals and organizations working on the front lines of the climate crisis to create a world that sustains us all—from access to clean air and water, to holding corporations and policymakers responsible for the climate crisis accountable, to ensuring those most impacted by climate change have a seat at the table in decision-making for their communities.  

The Tribute to Change will be held Thursday, June 26, 2025, at Fairmount Water Works from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, April 8.

Event Accessibility

In preparation for this year’s Tribute to Change, we wanted to share some details about the event and venue accessibility.

  • Tribute to Change will be held outside, under a tent. There is a one-inch slanted incline leading into the tent.
  • Masks are not required at this year’s Tribute to Change, but they will be available at the registration table.
  • Valet parking is available free of charge. Valet service will begin at the Italian Fountain, which is along Waterworks Drive, perpendicular to Kelly Drive. The Fountain is approximately 75 yards from the entrance to our event at the Fairmount Water Works. Those who cannot easily traverse the 75 yards, may drive up to the event entrance where a valet will take your car (and pick you up after the event).
  • There are two restroom options. One is at ground level, with a single stall each for men and women. There is a portable ramp leading into these restrooms. This site is closer to the tent. The second option is set further back, with more stalls and five steps leading up to the restroom units.
  • The program video will be closed-captioned.
  • A limited number of large text program booklets will be available.
  • There will be an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter on-site.
  • If requested by June 1, there will be a Spanish-speaking interpreter on-site.
