If Democratic leaders actually want to win elections they would stop suppressing younger voices at the heart of our base. Nowhere does generational warfare get practiced more vehemently than by elder leaders of my party. Glad to see College Dems finally asserting independence.

The utter cowardice of @PHLCouncil members not to say on the record--or anywhere--exactly what their issues w/ Wilkerson are. Truth: they caved to the lobbyists who want to privatize more #PHlEd schools for their own $$ interests. inquirer.com/education/joyc… via @PhillyInquirer
We need a voice for public schools in Philadelphia and I applaud our mayor for standing up for a strong proponent on our school board. 👏👏👏 Council needs to come with receipts and have a fair and public process to explain why they are trying to force her off the board.

Everyone deserves a second chance, which is why I was happy to rally with the Coalition to Abolish Death by Incarceration (CADBI). We need to pass geriatric parole, end life without parole sentences and bring our community home. Thank you, CADBI, for coming to the State House!
Tonight!
I feel like it would be more normal for colleges to have nothing to do with arms manufacturers.
This is the one day set aside for public testimony as Philadelphia City Council considers the Mayor’s budget proposal. We were supposed to have the floor at 1:30. At almost 3pm, we still haven’t gotten a chance to speak. People took off work to testify. This is unacceptable.
Anyone who is saddened by the news that Amen Brown was reelected today and wants to do something, running for committee person is the strongest way to change electoral outcomes. You could be the one weighing in on ward endorsements and talking to neighbors. DM me if interested.

Are these radicals with no place in the Democratic party? A critical group of voters who need to vote Biden? can't be both!

Shout out to @keirbgrey for her excellent, inspiring campaign. Not the result we wanted, but your run for AG meant so much to me and many others. Philly loves you ❤️

A Ward 6 committeeperson working the polls for Brown said he supports Cass and asked me if it’s “ok” if he votes for Cass, if the party will find out. We need to end these closed wards, the machine, the intimidation. They are killing our democracy
. @KendraPHL and I spent last week learning how Berlin and Vienna approach housing. We will be live on Instagram this Wednesday to share what we learned and how we plan to integrate this knowledge into our work to achieve housing justice!
In case you missed the subtle nod, Vienna is a city built for women. And @CouncilmemberJG is the only City planner on council. She can have my money and bring the best parts of Vienna to Philadelphia. We will be better for it.

The Israeli defense minister said: “We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel." Netanyahu said that Israel is only allowing in the absolute minimum amount of aid. Tragically, they have lived up to those words.
We are ONE WEEK out from the primary election. This is our last chance to motivate voters to register their power at the ballot box! Join us this Saturday for a final push in West Philly to get principled progressive leaders elected to office! amistadpower.org/news/join-us-g…
It's unjust that Philly spends half the national average on parks and rec centers! Parks and Rec needs funding for routine capital maintenance. Rebuild helped make up for deferred maintenance, but if we do not regularly maintain our public spaces we'll be back where we started.

Do you want these guys monitoring women’s pregnancies? No. That’s why we have to protect our majority in the PA House and flip the PA Senate.
