About BeHeardPhilly
BeHeardPhilly℠ is a social movement created and maintained by Temple University’s Institute for Survey Research that gives community members of all zip codes the chance to have their voices heard!

What Our Members Have to Say
"This is what my community needs. Somewhere we can express our opinions anonymously. Most people around here don't speak up because they are afraid or they think their needs will never be met. I think this outlet will help them be more active in our community. We need change. This will help."
- Earl Prather, BeHeardPhilly Member
"I read an article about BeHeardPhilly in the Philadelphia Weekly and I think it’s great what you guys are doing in collaboration with Mayor Kenney. I’m 85 years old and he has been the only Mayor to ask my opinion on anything."
- Min Kim, BeHeardPhilly Member
"BeHeardPhilly helps me stay current with important local issues. We are all Philadelphians and we all need to work together to make Philly a better place."
