Views here are my own, but I work at afsc_org and am here for my colleagues. Interested in peace, social justice, #BLM, too many podcasts, @Phillies & Philly.

These words and images capture the reality unfolding in #Gaza: military strikes, lack of resources, uncertainty. AFSC's Kerri Kennedy shares statements from staff on the ground weathering violence and a blockade preventing aid. https://t.co/pgYTDNlRHl

@harrisonfinberg Funny that just this morning my 11 year old asked where east Philly is and why there isn’t one

[Mark Graham @philamark]

@PHLschools This is impossible. You just collected my kids’ computers.

.@SenBobCasey @JohnFetterman, will you help us? Christian is set to be deported tomorrow, we’re doing all we can to stop it but in the meantime: We want to make sure Christian is still here: his lawyer has not once been able to contact him. Please help

Congress is considering legislation that could result in a massive give-away to fossil fuel industries and undermine progress in addressing climate change. Elected officials must hear from us today. Tell Congress to act now! https://t.co/8AhKzARFxb

Many #seniors in #Gaza live in poverty and have many needs that go unmet.

We are raising funds to provide wheelchairs, walkers, and mattresses to these seniors. These items can vastly improve quality of life for many seniors. Please consider donating: https://t.co/UYfpdV3jUZ

🎉The Senate has voted to repeal the #AUMF, the legislation that authorized the Iraq War. Now the House must follow suit and vote YES to repeal.

👏Thanks to all 2,138 AFSC supporters who sent a message to their senators to repeal the AUMF! https://t.co/vsuCMmyQ10

It is a wild ride to be dropping the kids off at school and chatting with the other parents about plans to clean up the PTA closet this afternoon and then getting texted this article

🎉After a long and hard 16 years of struggling with the our unjust and broken #immigration system, Jorge Zaldivar will finally be able to stay with his family.

We've joined @FCNL, @mccpeace, @Presbyterian, @ELCA & other partner faith orgs in urging the U.S. to lift sanctions on Syria to expedite humanitarian assistance to those impacted by the devastating earthquake that hit #Turkey & #Syria. https://t.co/aMEB6eMIJ3

Incredibly humbled that @FLRightsRestore has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 2023 by @afsc_org

@GoodVibePolitik I live just north of this area. It’s bad. People are losing chickens and other pets. The streams are full of dead fish and frogs. If it’s in the creeks it’s certainly in the water table. Many people in this area have wells. It’s also in the Ohio River.

[AFSC @afsc_org]

It is time to immediately lift sanctions on #Syria to allow access to the humanitarian materials needed to meet the needs of the more than 11 million people in Syria who have been impacted by this week's earthquake.

Lift sanctions to save lives. https://t.co/LnKtiT4qBS

Expanding the #ChildTaxCredit permanently is a no-brainer. When it was temporarily expanded during the pandemic, it drove down child poverty. Congress should take this easy step to permanently help millions of children: https://t.co/nUvodqvFYE #CBPPSOTU #CareCantWait

NEW: In a historic victory for students, a judge has declared Pennsylvania's school funding system unconstitutional.

We proved that the students who need the most have the least, because the state shortchanges low-wealth communities. It's time to change that.
