City Council approved the Sixers’ proposal over the overwhelming objections of the city’s planning and design community, the surrounding neighborhoods, and dozens of organizations. This is a bad deal. I want to be clear that I will not support state funding for this project. 1/2

Today, instead of demanding protections for ALL communities to be impacted by the proposed Philadelphia 76ers arena, our PHLCouncil bowed to the demands of real estate billionaires and their land grab in a 12-5 vote. A shameful day.

Grateful to Henry Chow and the entire Sang Kee Peking Duck House team for the amazing meal yesterday and thrilled to have been able to help Councilmember Rue Landau assist them as they navigated their closure last week. Another reminder of the importance of protecting Chinatown 💪🏼❤️‍🔥

After two and a half years of battling, *WE WON* !! Fighting for working people, for working families and for our last community of color in Center City will continue to matter and we must work to grow the Save Chinatown Coalition deep into the future. 💪🏼❤️‍🔥 #savechinatown

Contract negotiations for our union Schuylkill Center continued yesterday. Employees from across the Center joined for open bargaining, seeing and hearing our Director reject our proposals for protecting our work from being outsourced. We are disappointed to hear how little she…

LETS GO BIRDS!!!! WORLD CHAMPS!!!! So much love in Philly tonight 🎉🎉🦅🦅💚💚 #flyeaglesfly

Petition season is here and nearly gone! It’s critical that candidates that fight for working people and families acquire enough signatures to make the ballot this year. Stay tuned for endorsements from 2nd Ward Democrats (on Bluesky) ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Proud to stand with neighbors, activists and electeds yesterday to defend freedom of speech and dissent and to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil and others unjustly detained and/or deported during these first weeks of the 2nd Trump administration. 📸 Seth Anderson Oberman for City Council District 8

We are sitting in Houston Hall for a scheduled negotiation session with Penn Management. They are refusing to meet with us. Why? They want us to close bargaining to our union members, who have a legal right to participate in these negotiations. What is Penn so afraid of?

Such a great time at the GALAEI #TransDayOfVisibility happy hour with Councilmember Rue Landau and Ty Brown 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

We WON!✊🙌👏🔥 #unionYES AFSCME

Yesterday’s Philly AFL-CIO Workers Over Billionaires rally was an incredible moment of solidarity in support of working people. Thousands were in attendance and 70 of us were arrested for participating in a sit-in. We will continue to show up ✊🏼❤️‍🔥 📸 joe piette , @an_piobar
