First we’re getting our house in order. That means Councilmember Dr. Nina Ahmad (At-Large) Nina Ahmad must go on the record opposing the arena and this terrible deal. Call Nina Ahmad and tell her: As someone who says she proudly represents our communities, it's time to join the People’s Champs.

Councilmember Dr. Nina Ahmad (At-Large) Nina Ahmad Councilmember Jamie Gauthier Mark Squilla Kenyatta Johnson Councilmember Rue Landau Councilmember Isaiah Thomas Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson Every week we’ll be bringing you questions about this disastrous plan. 1. SHARE this graphic. 2. CALL your Councilmember and tell them it’s unacceptable to be closing schools and taking money from the district while giving tax breaks to billionaires.

🚑This week, Philly's former Health Commissioner, PSR Pennsylvania, and doctors/nurses/EMTs/medical workers echoed the same concern: The arena threatens patients' lives and ambulance access. So why haven't we heard from City Council's Public Health Committee?

PSR Pennsylvania Councilmember Dr. Nina Ahmad (At-Large) Mark Squilla Councilmember Isaiah Thomas Quetcy Lozada Councilmember Mike Driscoll Cindy Bass Councilmember Rue Landau For every minute a hospital arrival is delayed, a patient's chance of dying is 5% higher. CALL Council’s Public Health Committee members and tell them they must protect patients and commit to doing a traffic study that ensures lives won’t be lost. #PatientsOverProfits

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Building an arena that will hand out $400M to billionaires when we're talking about closing public schools is not where our priorities should be. 88% of Philadelphians think the arena shouldn’t even be on Council’s agenda right now. #NoArena #NoDeal

Momentum is on our side. City Council sees that this is a bad idea with disastrous consequences. Keep up the full court press, SHOW UP and pack the hearings: bit.ly/NoArenaHearings

The problem isn't paying for the passes, it's paying to upend SEPTA to suit Josh Harris, which will cost $25M/year. The developers were crystal clear: They're not paying for it, WE are through higher fares and slashed service. Throwing free passes for a season won’t fix that.

"At a time when several of our Philadelphia district schools are at risk of closure, it is irresponsible... to consider what amounts to a $1 billion tax break to billionaires who do not even live in Philadelphia." #NoArena inquirer.com/opinion/commen

This “public process” has literally thrown out and beat up the public, and now dozens of people are being denied the chance to speak directly to the Councilmembers we elected to work for us. #NoArena

They don’t have the votes to pass this terrible deal. Let’s keep it that way. We've won an extra week, so let's make it count.
