[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

My op-ed today:

Senate Republicans killed the clearest path to cannabis legalization in state history. If they're serious about moving forward, they must bring up my bill again or send the House another proposal.

We're ready to negotiate when you are.

BREAKING: The PA Supreme Court has struck down mandatory life sentences for people convicted of felony murder, a watershed moment that will lead to one of the largest re-sentencing undertakings in United States history. My story is at spotlightpa dot org.

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

A huge victory for incarcerated Pennsylvanians, stemming from decades of legal advocacy and organizing.

The mandatory life sentence for felony murder has destroyed lives for a generation.

Now, we’re going to bring it to an end.

[Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @CouncilmemberJG]

We are celebrating historic bipartisan support for post-arrest youth diversion in the Pennsylvania State House!

Last year I led a delegation to Harrisburg to advocate for youth diversion because it is a win-win.

Post-arrest youth diversion for nonviolent crimes:

✅️ Is twice as effective at preventing recidivism
✅️ Gets victims restitution faster
✅️ Saves taxpayers money
✅️ Keeps communities whole

Congratulations to @RepKrajewski @Rep_ADC @bellmonforpa and everyone in the Pennsylvania Justice Alliance on getting HB 144, HB 150, and HB 1936 through the State House with overwhelming support on both sides of the aisle!

Now it is up to the State Senate to send these bills to Governor Shapiro's desk without delay!

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

Proud to say my legislation expanding the use of juvenile diversion, HB 144, passed the House today with overwhelming support.

Diversion saves state dollars, changes lives, and sets youth on a path for success!

🚨🚨Middle school students at SLAMS have walked out to protest ICE! Can’t say how moved and inspired I am to join them.

Freeze Trump, melt ICE!

[Billy Penn @billy_penn]

The “Know Your Rights” trainings, which have served over 1,000 people, provide information and tactics for interacting with ICE. Residents say they’re needed and useful. https://t.co/Zi9d8TxsXu

Pres. Trump has directed an illegal and unnecessary act of war this weekend in Venezuela. Lives have been lost and many more are at risk, as the US President interferes in the innerworkings of a sovereign nation. This decision has far-reaching consequences at home and abroad. 1/5

[PA House Democrats @PaHouseDems]

Workers in New Jersey are about to get their SEVENTH raise since the last time PA workers got one.

Why?

Senate Republicans are keeping your pay down as your costs rise.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Trump's first act in 2026? An illegal act of war against another country. Our government can always find money for violence and war. Not a penny for health care.

[Senator Nikil Saval @SenatorSaval]

Trump’s attack on Venezuela and abduction of its President are criminal acts of terror. They follow in the darkest traditions of American history: a violent, reckless flex of military power to gain control over foreign resources.

[Alliance for Safety and Justice @asjpolicy]

We celebrate HB 150 passing the PA House w/ bipartisan support. This would create a pathway to update and improve PA’s medical release process for people in prison who pose no risk to #publicsafety, who are seriously ill or incapacitated, but pose a significant expense to the DOC

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

We finally passed my compassionate release legislation out of the House today, HB 150.

While our state’s elderly population behind bars balloons to more than 7,000, our existing medical release system is fundamentally broken.

It’s time for action.

[FAMM Foundation @FAMMFoundation]

!! BREAKING !!
HB 150 has passed the PA House of Representatives! HB 150 is a bipartisan bill that seeks to expand access to medically-based relief for incarcerated people with terminal and serious chronic medical conditions. Thank you to the bill’s cosponsors @RepKrajewski and @EckerRep, and to all the lawmakers and advocates who supported HB 150! Now, onto the Senate!

[Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler @RepFiedler]

I'm a proud co-sponsor of this bill that will increase worker democracy in PA, and I'm so encouraged to see this overwhelming bipartisan vote! Congrats to @RepKrajewski and our other co-sponsors!

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

We just passed my worker cooperative legislation, HB 135, which makes it easier to form a coop! And I’m proud to say we achieved wide bipartisan support with a vote of 194 to 9. 🎉🎉

The proposal, from state Rep. Rick Krajewski (D., Philly), classifies using tech platforms such as RealPage to set rent as an "unfair methods of competition," and allow the attorney general or DAs to pursue charges against landlords who violate the law.
