What we do
From the beginning, Philadelphia has worked to be a welcoming place to people from all walks of life. Our country was built by immigrants and our strength as a city is reinforced by our vibrant diversity.
The mission of the Office of Immigrant Affairs (OIA) is to promote the well-being of Philadelphia’s immigrant communities. We do this by recommending and developing policies and programs, which in turn provide opportunity and access to services.
We help facilitate the successful inclusion of immigrants into the civic, economic, and cultural life of the city. We highlight the essential role that immigrants have played and continue to play in our city.
OIA also supports the work of the following commissions:

Jun29EventOur Market Cart Story: Espositos Meats11:00 am to 2:00 pmSouth 9th Street, S 9th St, Philadelphia, PA, USAEvent
Our Market Cart Story: Espositos Meats
The Our Market project launched the Our Market Story Cart, designed by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz and inspired by the 9th Street Market’s original push carts. The cart is a tool to collect stories along different sites in the Market (butcher shops, restaurants, hair salons) on select Saturdays from June through July. We invite the community to share their Market story by visiting the Our Market Story Cart on select Saturdays. Market stories will be added to our growing Our Market open-source digital archive created to expand the narrative of all the people that contribute to the 9th Street Market, one of the oldest outdoor markets in the United States.
The Our Market Story Cart will be stationed at different locations along the 9th Street Market on the following Saturdays from 11am-2pm
