On 10-16-25, Philly City Council unanimously passed my Voter Registration Bill! It's the first voter-registration legislation since 2000. Now, every renter will receive voter-registration info at move in. Moving is when many fall off the rolls-this simple step keeps voting accessible and inclusive.

🧡February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month🧡
I'm wearing orange to stand in solidarity with survivors and to raise awareness about the importance of healthy relationships. Teen dating violence is real, but together, we can break the cycle.

The Climate crisis is real!!! Glad responsible people are stepping up. We must work to reach the 2030 goals for reduction in carbon emission.
After Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, Bloomberg Philanthropies and other U.S. climate funders announced that they will “ensure the United States meets its global climate obligations.”
