The fight to save Chinatown is not over yet, but this is an important step to building our case against the 76ers arena’s encroachment on this historic Asian American community in Philly.

Along w/ Defender Association of Philadelphia & ACLU of Pennsylvania, we've submitted our amicus brief in City of Philadelphia v. Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5. Read more about our demand for police accountability for Black and Brown communities: law.upenn.edu/live/files/132…

Proud to work with Defender Association of Philadelphia on this case. Our communities deserve accountability and transparency from police.

This was always bigger than one arena or one neighborhood. We celebrate that Chinatown is safe for now, but nobody’s home is safe as long as billionaire developers are planning our city and politicians are playing their game.
