As America marks 250 years, we must honor our history while acknowledging the work that remains. May Pennsylvania lead with justice, compassion and courage so that liberty is not only declared, but fully lived.

I'm proud to support a #PaBudget that invests in our future. We increased funding for the School District of Philadelphia, supported our retirees, and made meaningful investments in the people and communities we serve. RepJasonDawkins.com

No more excuses -- it’s time to #RaiseTheWage! Twenty years without an increase to Pennsylvania’s minimum wage is shameful, and the #PASenate needs to get their act together and pass this now.

As chair of the @PAHouseLabor, I fully support the efforts of all Pennsylvanian workers to organize!

Yesterday, for the third time in four years, PA House Democrats passed a bill to #RaisetheWage. Once again, it now up to our colleagues in the Senate to finally take action and help workers. pahouse.com/Dawkins/InTheNew…

The #PAHouse's commitment to raising the minimum wage shows that positive change is possible. Now it's time for the Senate to step up and prioritize the wellbeing of our citizens. #raisethewage #peopleoverprofit

With today’s budget proposal from @GovernorShapiro, we have a clear path to continue the successes of the past with further investments in education, childcare, housing, public safety, & workforce development along with raising the state’s minimum wage.

More than $11 million in funding for afterschool programs is a great start. But there is still room to do more. These programs are critical in the fight against gun violence and the future of our young people.

Thank you for your service!

I'm excited to see this project move forward!

These projects will help with the renovation of Piccoli Park and will bring new mixed-use development and opportunity to our community. I'm proud to have played a part in securing this grant funding.
