I was proud and honored to present this $500,000 grant to OIC Philadelphia! This organization goes above and beyond to prepare and train new employees as they embark on new careers in the North Philly region.

This week I walked along East Girard Ave. with city and state agencies to see some of the recent safety improvements that have been made and discuss additional projects to make this vital corridor safer for everyone.

It is time for our nondiscrimination protections to be fully inclusive. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you're from, who you love, you should get a fair shake and a fair shot.
