We hosted two Friendsgivings to reach more than 300 households throughout Philly this year! I’m so grateful to the volunteers, partners, and neighbors who make it all possible. May we continue to work together for a bountiful world where everyone has the food, shelter, and community they need. 🧡

Victory! The PA CROWN Act will soon be law, ending hair discrimination in Pennsylvania.
A win for dignity, equity, and every person who has ever felt judged because of their hair. Our children will grow up in a better Commonwealth — and we can all wear our crowns with pride.

I'm proud to introduce legislation in partnership with Rep. Smith-Wade-El that would prevent the criminalization of homelessness. The Shelter First Act is a means to uphold the dignity and rights of all Pennsylvanians.
Lawmakers and housing advocates in Pennsylvania are calling on the commonwealth to take a more compassionate response to homelessness on the heels of a monumental ruling that allows local government to ban outdoor sleeping even if there are no shelter beds available.
