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.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The passage of the 2025-26 PA state budget not only brings relief to our communities but makes headway against the ongoing affordability crisis. Yet there are many ways in which this budget falls short.

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.

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.
