@TeamAOC Loved seeing you in South Philly!!

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Loved seeing @TeamAOC on Sunday in South Philly!!

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

Trump’s in it for the billionaires. He’s in it for unchecked power. He’s in it for himself, not us. And we’re sure as hell not going to leave us behind.

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Keep the Sixers in South Philly!

Last year, our elected committee people overwhelmingly passed a resolution opposing the proposed Philadelphia 76ers arena to be built in Chinatown.

[Senator Nikil Saval @SenatorSaval]

Plans to build an arena in the heart of our city pose an existential threat to Chinatown. Philly doesn’t want an arena here, and neither do I. Proud to join with so many people fighting for their homes, for their neighbors, for this beloved community, and for our city.✊🏾

It's #ElectionDay!! 🗳️🗳️

We can't wait to see our neighbors at the polls. DM us your questions throughout the day, we're here for you! 🩵✅🩵 #southphillyvotes

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Do you have thoughts about what should go into our city’s budget? This event at South Philadelphia High School is for you!

It’s tax season, and this video by our state rep sums up the problems with PA’s tax system, which puts too much of the burden on working class Pennsylvanians. Not many elected leaders have the guts to take on the super-rich. We’re glad ours is one of them.

[Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler @RepFiedler]

Taxes are too high for working and poor people in PA and unfairly low for the super-rich.

We need a better system.

Repealing the uniformity clause would allow us to adopt a progressive tax rate, so the ultra-rich pay their fair share to fund our communities. #TaxTheRich💸

[Philly’s Ward 39A Democrats @ward39a]

Great day to canvass with our friends from @phillyfirstward!

Out today speaking with voters about great candidates like @NikilSaval, @Fiedler4Philly, @JoeKhanEsq, and the rest of our slate for April 23. #gotv

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Launched out canvass today with our friends in @ward39a. Lots of great convos about why we care about the election on April 23 and how we can show up for our neighbors and communities! @JoeKhanEsq

[Will Gross @WillforPA]

Such a great time this past weekend sharing skills and learning about ways to better turn out voters ahead of the Primary Election + the General Election with fellow 2nd Ward Committee People and our neighbors in Wards 1 and 39A!

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

I stand proudly with the committed activists of @PhillyFirstWard for:

☑️ Strong public schools
☑️ Housing as a human right
☑️ Dignity for all workers
☑️ High-quality public transit
☑️ Affordable childcare

Let's keep fighting for the future we deserve!

[Senator Nikil Saval @SenatorSaval]

Yesterday, I had the honor of witnessing my friend and constituent, Judge Kay Yu, take her oath of office to serve on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Judge Yu brings with her wisdom, empathy, and clear sense of justice. Having her on the bench makes our city better.

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

I'm delighted to share that we've officially filed for re-election with over 3,000 signatures!

My entire team and I couldn't be more grateful to every resident of the First Senatorial District who signed our petitions as well as to all the volunteers who supported this effort.

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

So wonderful to begin the day with @Fiedler4Philly and South Philly neighbors collecting petition signatures.

Grateful for the volunteers who are out across the district during this final push to ensure we’re on the ballot! It’s not too late to join us: https://t.co/UqMvR4qdmA

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

It’s ridiculous that here in Pennsylvania two women can get married on a Sunday and fired from their job on a Monday.

Their landlord can legally throw them out of their apartment.

The House passed the Fairness Act to fix this.

Let's pass that bill and put it on my desk.

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

This Tuesday is the deadline to officially secure our place on the ballot. Will you commit to collecting signatures with us this weekend?

Sign up here: https://t.co/UqMvR4qdmA

Counting on the support of this team to qualify for the ballot with as strong a showing as possible!

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

Before I was an elected official, I was a volunteer organizer with @UNITEHEREPhilly.

As your State Senator, I will always show solidarity with workers. In our hospitals, coffee shops, schools, museums, campuses, warehouses — wherever workers are standing up for their rights.

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Huge crowd for @NikilSaval at the launch of his re-election campaign tonight!

[PhillyFirstWard @phillyfirstward]

Happening today! We’ll be there! Join us in supporting a State Senator that puts people and our communities first!

[Nikil Saval @NikilSaval]

As your State Senator, I strive every day to deliver on a bold vision for Philadelphia working families.

We've built strong coalitions and won a historic investment in housing, but our work is far from finished.

I'd be honored if you joined me tomorrow:  https://t.co/27SILNlC03
