Children laughed and played, bellies were filled, and neighbors were informed. This is what community looks like!

Temple University’s Board of Trustees voted to cut 300 positions at the university (while raising student costs).

When a coalition of organized students, faculty, and staff reached out seeking transparency about budget concerns, they were hardly acknowledged. A follow-up list of demands was flat-out ignored.

President Fry and board members, ignoring your constituents is not leadership, no matter how fiscally responsible you think you’re being.

It’s a shame the Temple Labor Coalition had to hold a rally on campus to raise this issue, but I was honored to join them today. Always rooting for student workers and workers serving students. ✊🏾

It brought me great joy to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day Philly!

While 250 has been the number thrown around all year long, because of declarations made in our city, we know that in truth, the Founding Families of this land were here for thousands of years before Thomas Jefferson ever put feather to paper. 🪶📄

For everything Philadelphia was to become, we first thank the Lenape people, largely of the Unami dialect and their many descendants who make our region stronger to this day.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! 🌎

“I am heartbroken to learn of the death of Officer Shane Seiber, who died in the line of duty following last night’s officer-involved shooting. My prayers are with his family and loved ones as they grieve, and with his fellow officer, who, to my knowledge, remains in critical condition. I am also holding in prayer everyone who witnessed or was otherwise impacted by this violence.

This tragedy is another painful reminder of the devastating toll of gun violence on our communities. My office stands ready to support those impacted by this incident. As we hold everyone affected in our thoughts and prayers, we must also remain committed to building the social infrastructure, resources, and community-based supports that prevent violence before it occurs and help our communities heal. Every life lost is a profound tragedy, and every community deserves the opportunity to live in safety and peace.
