The 2026 Tribute to Change will be held Thursday, June 11, 2026, at Vie, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This year’s theme is “Resist, Rise Up, and Reimagine.” We’ll honor the leaders and grassroots groups who are meeting this moment with courage—organizing their communities, taking bold action, and imagining a just future we all deserve.

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 challenges right now are real. There’s chaos, confusion, and fear. But that’s not the only story. Across the country—from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to Chicago—people are building collective power and showing what resistance looks like. And here in Philadelphia, leaders are doing the same.

While institutions retreat, community-based organizations step forward. They see possibility where others pull back. They’re in it for the long haul—fighting authoritarianism, defending our right to live in peace, and pushing us closer to liberation.

They show up. Let’s show up for them.
