More than 200,000 Philadelphia families are just one unexpected rent hike or repair bill away from losing their homes.
Now that Trump is slashing

I appreciated the chance to join @templelaw for their Coffee and Careers program yesterday afternoon. Students stopped by to learn about what a career as a housing lawyer looks like, how it brought me to City Hall, and how it has informed every aspect of my career thus far.

The PMA is now the PAM! Today, I attended the @philamuseum.bsky.social at the launch of their new branding. With a strong legacy and bold steps toward the future, this rebrand comes at a time when we need our arts institutions front and center, and we need our communities showing up to support them
