[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Thankful for the work that Jamie and the entire team at @CLSphila are doing to ensure that our justice system is more fair and just. 

Here in Pennsylvania, we believe in second chances — and this legislation will deliver real freedom to those who are working to rebuild their lives and meaningfully contribute to our communities.

[Councilmember Rue Landau @RuePhilaCouncil]

The Earned Income Tax Credit is one of the greatest anti-poverty initiatives we have, and more Philadelphians should be aware of how much money they are leaving on the table.

Home repairs fight displacement. Home repairs keep families safe and healthy. Home repairs prevent violence and save lives. All levels of government should unite around repairing our homes. This is a must-read by my friends over at @PhillyThrive.

Hey @PhilaStreets alerting you to a truly huge and dangerous pothole on the street in front of 1410 South St. Not safe for driving and too wide to drive around

[Joline Price says utilities are life essential. @jolinetweets1]

Utility insecurity and unaffordability are pervasive in Pennsylvania. Low income consumers pay up to 33% of their income on utility costs alone. Nationwide, over 20% of households report forgoing other life-sustaining necessities to pay for energy costs.

June 1, Avery was kicked off Medicaid. She’s supposed to still be eligible, but Arkansas terminated her coverage anyway, saying she hadn’t completed all the necessary paperwork
To be fair, paperwork is not exactly Avery’s forte. Because she’s 15 months old
