We love to see it. We're up next, Philly!

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court race is a highly consequential contest. The three Democratic justices up for retention this year are: ✅ Christine Donohue ✅ Kevin Dougherty ✅ David Wecht We need everyone to vote YES for all three of these in the November elections. www.inquirer.com/opinion/penn...

DA Larry Krasner will be hosting a series of townhalls this week to discuss Philly's response if Trump deploys the national guard here. Sept. 16, at 6:00 PM at 5736 Chester Ave. Sept 17, at 6:00 PM at 7401 Limekiln Pike. Sept. 18, at 6:00 PM at 419 South 6th St. www.inquirer.com/crime/krasne...

This was a police state long before Trump. boingboing.net/2021/04/20/u...

“It should come as no surprise that Trump, a wealthy 34-time convicted felon capable of posting bail for his freedom, is threatening to defund jurisdictions that use cashless systems.” @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social whyy.org/articles/tru...

"Police don’t prevent violence—they merely respond to it, often inadequately, and often in ways that only worsen or reproduce the violence in question, all while swallowing up cities’ entire budgets." @kylietcheung.bsky.social for @prismreports.org prismreports.org/2025/07/29/z...

They also want to talk about community safety and are interested in how we keep us safe outside of policing! Which also has nothing to do with trans athletes at Penn.

"Parker’s term as mayor isn’t up until 2027, but she’s already been looking ahead—and as she herself acknowledged, that future may not be bright." @kimkelly.bsky.social Working Philadelphians deserve a mayor who will fight FOR them, not against them. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Tamar Sarai interviewed local artist and filmmaker Aaron Brokenbough about the movement for a just Philly budget and the need to reimagine public safety for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2025/07/14/p...

today in 1970 the Young Lords staged a 12-hr takeover of the Bronx's Lincoln Hospital—overcrowded, overrun by rats, called the "butcher shop" b/c medical residents trained on poor people of color the takeover led to one of the first patients' bill of rights in history, and other wins @teenvogue.com

It's infuriating that Parker is calling DC 33 workers "her people" when she refused to budge and give them 5% raises. Come election time, we will remember who bullied the workers on strike and who had their backs. www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

We stand with and for all the Philly workers demanding fair wages for their labor. Let's go!

More excellent work from Thrasher. (This time with alt text)

Who could've imagined? The people will mobilize for candidates that actually care about them!

This a deeply moving article by @lewispants.bsky.social about the Philadelphia police killing of Aaron Rainey while he suffered from a mental health crisis. It highlights the need for fully funded non-police crisis response teams so it never happens again.

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you. They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

This is a terrific breakdown of the movement that re-elected DA Larry Krasner in the Philly primary by @taniel.bsky.social for @boltsmag.org. Councilmember Nicolas O'Rourke summed it up: "We don’t have to pretend that locking people up is actually creating safety." boltsmag.org/larry-krasne...

Y'all came out and re-elected the People's DA in Philadelphia last night! We are glad Larry Krasner will likely serve another term and that Philly voters approved an independent prison oversight board. They're not liberation, but they're important steps in the work to build a better world.

Philly! Polls are open until 8:00 PM! Come through and cast a vote for REAL community safety: Vote to re-elect Larry Krasner for District Attorney. And vote YES on ballot question 3 to create an independent prison oversight board. We do not have to be hyper carceral to have safe communities.

During DA Larry Krasner’s tenure, the rate of violence in Philadelphia AND Philly’s jail population have reached their lowest levels in recent history. Let’s keep up the positive momentum and re-elect Larry Krasner for District Attorney tomorrow!

This Saturday! Join us at Christy Rec Center from 2-4pm to learn about the movement for real community safety and people power in city government. The entrance to the rec center is through the playground on Webster Street. Food will be provided!

DA Larry Krasner has a proven track record of holding police accountable for killing community members, and his office has overturned more than 40 wrongful convictions since 2018. On May 20, 2025, vote in the primary election to re-elect Larry Krasner as Philadelphia's District Attorney!

Tomorrow night, Tonight! Join us in West Philly at the Christy Rec Center from 6-8pm for a town hall about how we can prioritize the people over the police in this current budget cycle. The fight for a fair budget is central to the fight for real community safety. Bring your friends and neighbors!

Hello Bluesky! I'm Kendra Brooks, Councilmember At-Large and Minority Leader in Philadelphia City Council. I am the first member of the Working Families Party ever to be elected to Philadelphia City Council, and I stay true to what I am called to do: serve the people. #workingfamiliesPHL

It's budget season in Philly! Join us for a teach-in on March 18, where we’ll talk about why this is one of the most important moments in our fight for real community safety––and what you can do to win big for our communities. Register here to join us: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Philly needs a People’s Budget! On March 13th from 6-8pm, on the night of Mayor Parker’s budget address, join us for a citywide mass meeting on the budget proposal and how to win the city we deserve. RSVP here: bit.ly/march13budget

This post-election survey found that voters prefer investments in resources that are proven to build safe communities—educational opportunities, good jobs, housing, and mental health services—over responding to crime with police and prisons. www.vera.org/news/sending...

We are heading into budget season in Philadelphia! We will be one of many community organizations co-hosting a citywide Budget Meeting on March 13––the night of Mayor Parker's address. Save the date and plan to join us to talk next steps in the fight for a budget that works for the people!

DA Larry Krasner’s office has been consistent in its support of second chances for people seeking commutation, and they’ve corrected historic wrongs by investing in conviction integrity along with prosecuting abusive cops. We look forward to ensuring those gains continue.

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

You love to see a Republican State Senator say prisons “shouldn’t be the department of retribution and punishment and warehousing.” Second chance legislation is gaining momentum in PA! Join us in the fight for policies that create real community safety. www.timesobserver.com/news/local-n...
