@Millicent8 @RepresentPAC @LincolnUofPA Happy to report the legislation was signed into law by the governor yesterday!

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

Great news! The Senate just passed legislation that releases state funding to @LincolnUofPA and other state-related universities.

We are now one step closer to getting this much needed funding to our schools and I am grateful to our passionate student leaders for their advocacy.

It was a pleasure meeting with Executive Director Aaron Karpas to celebrate a $50,000 grant I was able to help secure for the organization's food pantry and thank them for all their good work.

Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center is great community partner helping combat basic needs insecurity in Southern Chester County and has been a crucial support organization for victims of the downtown Oxford fire.

I was glad to meet with Gina Gennari who designs pins of Maite's shoes in her honor and in support of gun safety reform.

We must take action to keep our children, our schools, and communities safe from gun violence.

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

Maite Rodriguez loved animals, the beauty of our planet and our environment, and dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. She always wore her green Converse sneakers to school with a drawn-on black heart at the toe.

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

Tragically, Maite lost her life during the Uvalde shooting along with 18 of her classmates and two of her teachers. She was just 10 years old.

Her green sneakers have since become a symbol of gun violence prevention and a call to action for common-sense gun safety reform.

When downtown Oxford experienced a devastating fire, the community came together to help their neighbors restore and rebuild.

I was glad to visit St. Christopher's to see some of the donated goods that will be distributed to impacted residents. This is the power of community.

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

The bill now goes to the governor for his signature.

I'm so grateful to the student leaders for their advocacy to help get this bill to a vote.

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

UPDATE: The Lincoln March students marched, they spoke, and they were heard in the halls of Harrisburg.

Both the House and Senate have now passed HB1461 providing long-overdue funding for @LincolnUofPA and the three other state-related institutions.

Apprenticeship programs help train workers in fulfilling career paths with family sustaining wages.

During National Apprenticeship Week and every week, I’m glad to support apprenticeship programs in both traditional and non-traditional fields in Chester County and across PA.

[Senator Carolyn Comitta @SenatorComitta]

Lincoln deserves full funding, now.

I was glad to welcome students from @LincolnUofPA to the Senate as they completed their 66 mile march to Harrisburg calling on the legislature to release their funding.

Let’s get this bill passed, support our students, and fully fund Lincoln.
