In July 2022, plans to build a 1.3 billion dollar arena feet away from Philadelphia’s Chinatown were announced by billionaire developers. This development deal was created without consulting the Chinatown community, and the arena poses an immediate threat to the existence of this thriving and diverse social fabric, which is the last community in Center City with a large immigrant and lower-income population.
Now, restaurant and small business workers and owners in Chinatown need the support of the greater Philadelphia community. 

Please sign the public statement in support of saving Philadelphia’s Chinatown:
As members of Philadelphia's restaurant industry and small business community, we stand for the preservation of Chinatown and oppose any attempt by 76 DevCorp — David Adelman, David Blitzer, and Josh Harris — to build an arena that will disrupt the community. 

Philadelphia's culinary and small business landscape is vital to feeding, protecting, and providing space for the voices, histories, and futures of our diverse communities. Chinatown is an irreplaceable part of our social fabric and we stand to protect it. 

We support the Chinatown community's resistance against the displacement and disenfranchisement that would result from the construction of the proposed arena, and believe in the necessity for equitable, non-predatory development in Philadelphia.

NO ARENA IN CHINATOWN. NO ARENA IN THE HEART OF OUR CITY.
