Today the City announced an updated design for FDR Park. Despite public outcry, this design still calls for a substantial portion of the Meadows to be razed. I cannot, and will not, defend the destruction of a public space so beloved by my constituents. 1/🌱

WE JUST WON $125 MILLION FOR WHOLE-HOME REPAIRS! This is a direct investment in our people, our homes, and our communities, and an unprecedented victory for the coalition of housing and energy advocates, community organizers, PA residents, and legislators who backed it. 1/ The Whole-Home Repairs Program establishes a one-stop shop for home repairs and weatherization while building out our local workforce and adding new family-sustaining jobs in a growing field. This program is the first of its kind in the nation. 2/

PA Republicans want a constitutional amendment to strip away abortion care. We must:
➡️Ensure a pro-abortion Governor and legislature.
➡️Expand abortion access in PA.
➡️Protect abortion providers from out-of-state prosecution.
➡️Defeat this proposed amendment. 🧵 Republicans rammed through a proposed anti-abortion constitutional amendment near midnight, even though the vast majority of Pennsylvanians WANT safe, legal, accessible abortions.

“On their own block, in front of their business, on the Parkway, in all corners of this city — every Philadelphian deserves to live free from fear.” @HelenGymAtLarge

inquirer.com/opinion/commen… @HelenGymAtLarge Rather than the knee-jerk reactions to fall back on measures that punish Philly residents while providing no protection from relentless violence, we need leaders who will commit their sweat equity and our city’s resources to the solutions proven to end violence before it starts.
