Petition in Support of MOC Social Club’s Application for Private Club Zoning and Liquor License

Thank you so much for considering our petition—we truly appreciate your time and support.

MOC Social Club is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space for adults to gather, connect, and build community in our neighborhood. In order to offer the full range of programming and hospitality we envision, we’re seeking private club zoning and a liquor license—both of which require broad neighbor support.

As part of the city’s approval process, MOC must meet with our local civic association (Registered Community Organization, or RCO), which will host a public meeting for neighbors to share their feedback. At this meeting, visible neighborhood support—or even just a lack of opposition—can be the deciding factor in whether our application moves forward smoothly and affordably.

By signing this petition, you’re sending a clear, positive message to the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment, RCO, and neighbors: safe, inclusive spaces like MOC are important to our community. Every signature helps demonstrate broad support and makes it easier for decision-makers to say “yes” to welcoming, well-managed gathering places for adults.

If you’d like to write a personal letter of support, please feel free to email it to Petition@MOCSocial.Club. Your words would mean a great deal to us!

To the Community and Registered Community Organization (RCO):

We, the undersigned members, event attendees, and/or supporters, respectfully urge your support for the MOC Social Club’s application for private club zoning and a club liquor license.

Since its founding in 2022, MOC Social Club has created a vibrant, sex-positive environment that fosters inclusion, acceptance, and a strong sense of community. As an adult lifestyle club focused on consensual non-monogamy and welcoming primarily those who identify as male, MOC provides a safe, respectful, and affirming space for individuals and couples exploring alternative relationship dynamics. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and professions, united by a commitment to belonging and mutual respect. Many attendees travel from across Philadelphia, neighboring states, and even farther, underscoring the club’s unique value to the region.

MOC Social Club is designed for responsible adult socializing, with privacy, consent, and respect as foundational values. The club strictly enforces privacy and noise policies, and all events are carefully managed to ensure a positive experience for members while minimizing any impact on neighbors.

The leadership team is fully committed to meeting all city and state requirements for private clubs and liquor licensing. Their record of responsible management and open communication demonstrates a sincere desire to be a positive force in the neighborhood.

MOC Social Club enriches Philadelphia by:

• Providing adults with safe, discreet opportunities for connection and community-building
• Fostering a culture of respect, privacy, and inclusivity among members

For these reasons, we ask for your support— or, at minimum, your lack of objection— to MOC Social Club’s application for private club zoning and a club liquor license. Your consideration will help ensure that Philadelphia remains a city where adults can find safe, affirming, and responsible spaces to build community.

We welcome the opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have and look forward to working together for the benefit of our neighborhood.
