Economic & repro justice advocate, abolitionist, queer mama, total Luddite. Still trying to figure out how this Twitter thing works - forgive me.

@fifimcfae I’m not sure who “everyone” is, but I and many of my neighbors have concerns. I live less than one block away and I’ve been in my home for 15 years.

@exfkaty @bikemamadelphia This may be a rhetorical question 😂 but I’m not sure if it’s a trash law outright or a trash court interpretation of the law. Got to learn more!

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@exfkaty @bikemamadelphia Rec directors are DC 47 but I believe they are Local 2186, which is first-level supervisors who are prohibited from striking by state law 😞

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@llcoolj Right on! Much love and respect 💕

@mr_saltz And yes some crossing guards work during the summer to get kids to and from summer school safely

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@mr_saltz I can only imagine non-rep city workers are under enormous pressure to try to pick up the most essential work their DC33 sibs normally do 😞

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@mr_saltz Yes definitely. DC 47, local 2187 member here. I’ve heard through the grapevine that some of my colleagues in the Water Department who already had time off approved for next week have been told they can’t take the PTO that was already approved and have to come in.

@CouncilmemberKJ @PHLCouncil No good deal is made at the 11th hour. It’s time to hit pause and engage EVERYONE who might be impacted by this

Philadelphia's Office of Homeless Services today released the results of the 2024 Point-In-Time (PIT) count, showing that homelessness has increased for the third year in a row with 5,191 individuals experiencing homelessness. https://t.co/xcGbvFpO30

@mr_saltz I saw so many “older siblings” (like 10-year-olds) walking their younger siblings home at lunchtime today. Why does SDP never learn???

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@bikemamadelphia Ran into a family that had WALKED in the heat last Thurs to two different pools they thought were open - finally got to the open pool in my neighborhood and had to wait an hour bc of overcrowding 😩

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

The Philly Dem machine and the Philly GOP are both working overtime to keep @kendraforphilly and @NicForPhilly out of City Hall. Let’s ruin their day—and more importantly, elect two good people who truly care about our city

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@joncioschi Ugh and Donatucci is reducing hours on Wed and Thurs (closing at 5 pm, leaving the LEAP after-school program's kids with nowhere to go). I just emailed @CouncilmemberKJ about this 👀

[Julie Zaebst @JulieZaebst]

@joncioschi And starting salaries for library assistants and Rec Center Leaders are so much lower than the $57K they are offering COs. Where are our priorities? I don’t think this reflects the values of most Philadelphians

[Kendra Brooks @kendraforphilly]

After the Dobbs decision, I felt compelled to do everything in my power to protect abortion access.

I ended up passing some of the strongest reproductive rights protections in the country.

Now I’m honored to announce that @PPAdvocatesPA has endorsed myself and @NicforPhilly.

[Stephen Scare-uso 👻 @StephenJ_Caruso]

For the third time since 2019, a probation reform effort backed by Meek Mill's REFORM Alliance is advancing in Harrisburg. And for the third time, longtime criminal justice advocates worry the bill creates more problems then it solves. Via @DTOhl
