Interns make the world go round! ❤️ Congrats on your amazing summer & hope that you consider public service as a career! We need you BAD! ❤️❤️❤️
Today my office said goodbye to our interns, who spent their summer helping constituents, doing research, & working on special projects.
From the courts to City Hall, mentoring young people is one of the best parts of my job. Thank you to our amazing #TeamThomas interns!

We left that space feeling so inspired. Thank you @PhillyMayor, and all of the City leadership that came out to hear from and speak with these incredible young people.
We cannot do this work without each other. We must let young people lead in this space.
Forward, together. ❤️
Yesterday, we brought together youth leaders and organizers for a candid conversation about gun violence and public safety and how it’s affecting our youth.
I want to thank these young leaders for openly and honestly sharing their thoughts, experiences, and ideas with us.

THIS is how you use your influence.
Thank you, @Eagles: @1kalwaysopen_ & @BoobieMilesXXIV. 🤍💚🦅
On August 17, 2022 100 shots were fired @ Shepard Rec Center in Philly.
In an effort to re-establish the center as a safe haven for 250+ kids who are regularly here, @1kalwaysopen_ & @BoobieMilesXXIV surprised the kids, spoke about violence prevention + character development.
You don’t even know how pumped we are for this!!
@TempleUniv fam! Pop out!

Sending our deepest condolences to the family, friends & loved ones of Ms. Fletcher - especially her 3 children. She was an incredible public servant who loved & cared for our city’s young people.
Rest peacefully.
Holding you close @PhilaParkandRec family. ❤️
Today, we lay our beloved colleague, Tiffany Fletcher, to rest. Tiffany lost her life giving back to her community, and spent her final months making sure Mill Creek's young people had access to safe, clean, fun places to recreate.
