About

The Honorable Reverend Nicolas V. O'Rourke is Philadelphia City Council’s Minority Whip, Pastor (Covenant) of the Living Water United Church of Christ in Oxford Circle, and the second Working Families Party member elected in Philadelphia. While a resident of the Fifth District, he serves all of Philadelphia as an At-Large member of City Council. Working at the intersection of faith & justice, he was the Faith Leader's Caucus Co-Chair for POWER Interfaith. When organizing full-time, he focused on combating Mass Incarceration, Police Brutality, and religious and secular prejudice. In that season he fought for a strong public sector that keeps our kids safe and educated, our workers and residents protected, and actively supports the “beloved community” that Philadelphia can and must be.
