Hi Bluesky! Proud to be in the PA Senate working for—and with—the people of Pennsylvania for safe streets, freedom of movement, housing for all, care for all, fully resourced public schools, true justice in our systems, respect and dignity for workers, and a healthy, livable climate. Let’s do it.
Proud to join UNITEHERE Philly Local 274 on the picket line today at the Wyndham! These courageous workers are calling for family-sustaining wages, increased staffing, and benefits that let them care for their families with the same devotion and attention that they care for all who visit Philly.

The halting of food assistance by the Trump Administration is unconscionable, but we are not alone in navigating this crisis. Organizations and community groups are mobilizing to provide support and aid for their neighbors.

What an honor to be included in Philly Mag's 150 Most Influential People! The elevation of Whole-Home Repairs nationwide means more families will have a home they can feel safe in. The program is a collective achievement that took a commonwealth and with whom I share this recognition.

In the midst of the far-reaching opioid epidemic, communities deserve ready access to all the tools available to keep each other safe and healthy. I’m proud to co-sponsor new harm reduction legislation with Senator Tartaglione, which was made possible by brilliant student leaders in Philadelphia.

Happy Diwali! Tonight, more than a billion people around the world will celebrate this festival of light and connection, including millions across the U.S. and hundreds of thousands here in PA.

I was proud to introduce and pass legislation to recognize Diwali as a holiday in PA.

Philly showed up in full force for #NOKINGS! In communities across our country, power belongs to the people. We are saying NO to authoritarianism, NO to secret police (check out the signs from our immigrant solidarity training last week!), and NO to support for a genocide.

The #PAbudget stalemate in Harrisburg is a crisis. I spoke with @citycastphilly.bsky.social about how Senate Republicans forced our commonwealth to a halt and what everyday people can do to help build the political pressure necessary to break this impasse.

The state has gone more than 100 days without a budget. While Saval supports his fellow Democrats’ spending plan, he says Republicans haven’t offered serious proposals.

Academic freedom has been under attack for years, and the funding compact follows in those footsteps.

Proud of the members of the Penn community and my colleagues in state government who are standing up against Trump's attacks on higher ed.

State legislators move to introduce bill blocking Penn from signing White House funding compact
The Oct. 3 memo condemned the compact as “another attempt” by the Trump administration to pressure universities “to comply with its political agenda.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a time to bring attention to the cycle of power and control that affects millions. Intervention requires resources and community care, yet survivor-serving agencies are facing cuts as a result of PA's budget impasse.
