My legislation would ensure that child welfare providers are not required to take on additional insurance liability, giving them relief to carry on with their critical work for the most vulnerable citizens of Pennsylvania.
Thanks to @duqedu for inviting me to break ground on their new Health Sciences building. Healthcare and education are important to the future of our commonwealth and I was more than happy to help secure $1 million in state funding for the project.
I’m proud to highlight the investments made into the Hill District with the completion of phase one of the historic Granada Theater’s revitalization.
Getting our steps in and enjoying this beautiful weather while we raise money for Hunger Free PA and @FeedingPA . The Health and Fitness Caucus' inaugural Capitol Walk-A-Thon was a great success!
After years of hard work, I was honored to participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony at the newly renovated Allegheny YMCA and showcase what our community can achieve when we work together for the greater good. youtube.com/watch?v=kd6Ny2O3…
Sick of the constant ads that you experience every day on FB & Insta? On something you were just talking about. I’m tired of it, too, but if these platforms are going to bombard us with ads then they should be taxed on the profits they are making on them. youtu.be/zrPKwZliYZY
I'm proud to represent the district that Speaker K. Leroy Irvis represented decades ago. I'm also proud to help kick off this year's Irvis Days of Action. Together we can bring positive change for Black and brown people across the commonwealth.
As the only social worker in the PA legislature, I need YOUR help getting my bill across the finish line. Tell your senator: pass the Social Work Interstate Compact NOW. 📢 repabney.com
After years of hard work, we finally broke ground on Esplanade, transforming an idle industrial site into a destination the North Side can be proud of. From business & entertainment to new jobs and affordable housing, this project is a win for the region! youtu.be/YIOuLP3vFOM
Congratulations to the @pablackmhc on their two-year anniversary! I'm honored to be a member and inspired by our work to improve Black maternal health outcomes across the state. youtube.com/watch?v=62WAdYjD…
Food, fun, bingo, and information on programs to benefit YOU! Everyone had a wonderful evening at my 65 and Alive Active Night Out. Thanks to our partners for your support and to the National Aviary for hosting. Looking forward to seeing you all next year!
This is a critical moment for public transit in PA and this bill will help. I urge the Senate to approve and send it to the governor for his signature. I also continue to push for a dedicated funding source for mass transit, which is sorely needed. pahouse.com/abney/InTheNews/…
Affordable housing is hard to come for everyone. Yesterday we broke ground for the Dr. Louis A. Venson Senior Lofts to repurpose Beltzhoover Elementary which has been vacant since 2004. As a result, more seniors will have access to affordable housing. youtu.be/CG1m50frgkY
My PA Dads Matter Act passed out of the Health Committee and is on its way to the #PAHouse! Now let's get the PA MOMNIBUS 2.0 to the #PASenate so we can improve maternal health outcomes.

Today we celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandpas, father figures, and all the men who’ve shown love, strength, and guidance. Thank you for your support, your wisdom, and your endless dad jokes. You’re appreciated more than words can say.
Here’s to you — today and every day. 👔💪
I’ll always be a champion for social workers across PA. They work too many tireless days to be forgotten about. My bill would improve access to services and give workers more freedom to practice where they’re needed.
Mass transit is a public service for the public good. There will be real world consequences if we don't properly fund public transit across the commonwealth.
As a social worker and legislator, I know the value of this work. That’s why I introduced my bill to make licensure portable and care more accessible. Let’s pass this for our professionals and their clients. #PAforSocialWork

This legislation builds on existing law to ensure student-athletes can exercise their rights without fear of coercion, misinformation, or retaliation.
