We are thrilled to partner with the @PhillyEnergy and @PhillyThrive in the development of the Grays Ferry Community Resilience Hub, which was recently awarded a $20 million Community Change Grant from the @EPA.

Philly peeps, read about the nonsense HRP Group and the city are pulling with the former refinery land, and the work folks at @PhillyThrive are doing to fight it: inquirer.com/opinion/comment…
Philly Thrive is always proud to stand alongside @apipennsylvania & our comrades in the No Arena in Chinatown movement
We can’t let these developers try to divide and conquer by saying they care about Black people. These same billionaires are colluding together in my neighborhood right now to develop a Bellwether District and an arena in Chinatown, and we’re not going to let them @PhillyThrive

It is time to shut #76place down.
And it’s time for us to find out if @PhillyMayor works for the people of Philadelphia, or the billionaires who own the Sixers. #SaveChinatown

This afternoon, 4 - 5 PM, you can listen to @PlanetPhila, the environmental radio show, at 92.9 FM or live stream at gtownradio.com. They will be talking with groups, including @PhillyThrive, in Philly that are working to improve the city.
Thanks for reading and sharing our op ed @KendraPHL , we look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure all Philly residents have affordable, good, stable housing!
Over the last two months, two of our friends have been gunned down, Black men whose lives were cut short decades too soon. Philly residents need home repairs, and we know home repairs are a key part of reducing violence, so why isn’t our city making them more accessible?
We need @CouncilmemberKJ to protect affordable housing in his district & beyond:
👉opt District 2 into the mixed-income neighborhood overlay
👉 opt us into the Public Land for Public Benefit Bill
👉 work w/ resident to pass citywide policies that prioritize low-income housing
As the city prepares its budget, we want @PhillyMayor and @CouncilmemberKJ to remember that a budget is a moral document. Will Philadelphia’s budget invest in the programs that actually keep us safe? Unless our communities are reinvested in, the violence is not going to stop.
We love fighting for REAL solutions (like home repairs!) alongside @SenatorSaval, and we need our other Philly & PA elected officials to step up!
Home repairs fight displacement. Home repairs keep families safe and healthy. Home repairs prevent violence and save lives. All levels of government should unite around repairing our homes. This is a must-read by my friends over at @PhillyThrive.

Thanks @AmistadLaw! Grateful to be fighting alongside you all for a city (and city budget!) that protects working people, and invests in care instead of punishment ❣️
From our friends at @PhillyThrive:
“As the city prepares its budget, we want Mayor Parker and Councilmember Johnson to remember that a budget is a moral document. Will Philadelphia’s budget invest in the programs that actually keep us safe?”
