Mayor Cherelle L. Parker

Let’s go @PennMBB! Good luck tonight. Philly is behind you. 💙🏀

A special year, requires special treatment. Summertime, growing up in Philly, the Plateau was the place to be. It was only right that for 2026, our most incredible Roots crew did something extra special to bring their @rootspicnic to “The Plat” with the legendary Jay Z and Erykah Badu. I can’t thank @theroots, Shawn Gee, President of @livenationurban, @PhilaParkandRec and @PhillyCityRep enough for making this happen, and once again, making history in our great City. We are ready to welcome the world to Philly all 2026! —— @blackthought @questlove

What is the PIT Count and why does it matter? It’s neighbors showing up for neighbors, helping us understand the need and move forward with real solutions to end street homelessness. #OnePhillyOneFuture #PHLBudget @PHLCityHomeless

Our One Philly, One Future budget is rooted in improving economic mobility and investing in workforce development.   We introduced Philadelphia’s ECONOMIC “GPS” — Growth, Prosperity, and Security – A roadmap to self-sufficiency, a path that makes it easier for every Philadelphian to move up the ladder, not just get by.     #PHLBudget

Riverview is more than recovery housing. It is the center of our Wellness Village. A place built for healing, dignity, and second chances for people who have already taken the courageous step into recovery. And we’re not stopping there. Our One Philly, One Future budget proposes $211 million over five years to sustain and expand Philadelphia’s wellness ecosystem, supporting Riverview, Philly Home at Girard, housing support, the Kensington Wellness Support Center, Wellness Court, and more. Because recovery deserves more than words. It deserves a system that works. #OnePhilly —— Riverview partners: @Gaudenzia, Merakey, Black Doctors Consortium, @PhiladelphiaGov Managing Director’s Office

As part of our One Philly, One Future budget we celebrated a commitment of more than $9 million to support the continued restoration of Cobbs Creek Golf Course and the surrounding watershed. This investment will rebuild the floodplain, and in the process, create 15 acres of new wetlands, and plant more than 49,000 native trees, woody plants, and perennial plants across 37 acres. @cobbscreekfnd is focused on much more than just golf — Their vision for an inclusive education campus will create opportunities for young people and families who may never have had access, while promoting economic and environmental SUSTAINABILITY. This is all a part of my vision for Philadelphia - A Safer, Cleaner, Greener City with Access to Economic Opportunity for All. #PHLBudget

Last week we proposed more than a budget. We proposed an economic agenda for the people. A plan to make Philadelphia safer, cleaner, and greener. A plan to create real economic opportunity and help more residents move forward. A plan to invest in our neighborhoods, our workforce, and the future of our great city. One Philly. One Future. And we are just getting started.

I had a great time walking the streets alongside Grand Marshal Dan Hilferty, and seeing you all at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade today in our great City. We were proud to host the Taoiseach of Ireland, @MichealMartinTD, to the second oldest parade in the United States of any kind — starting in 1771 with over 250 years of continuous celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day in Philadelphia! I wish you all a happy, safe, and healthy St. Patrick’s Day this Tuesday. #OnePhilly ☘️

To support investments in ongoing operations of the School District, homeless shelters, and fixing roadways – our @PhiladelphiaGov needs to create more revenue.   In our One Philly, One Future budget, we introduced and proposed a multitude of taxes to help fund essential services across our City with the purpose of creating a Safer, Cleaner, Greener Philadelphia with Access to Economic Opportunity for All.   #PHLBudget

Philadelphians, I hear you! Our budget proposes a $7.1 Million investment to launch the ONE PHILLY POTHOLE SQUAD. @StreetsPhila will have more crews, more equipment, and more action to keep our roads in good repair. With dedicated maintenance teams in each of the city’s six highway districts, the Pothole Squad will respond faster and proactively patrol neighborhoods to fix potholes and roadway defects across Philadelphia!

For adult learners, a City College for Municipal Employment Fellows’ program, and a proposed Student Loan Help Center to assist borrowers! #PHLBudget

All of our work on EDUCATION is designed to increase Economic Mobility. Every day, we’re focused on increasing pathways for our children AND adult learners. We propose adding high-quality seats to the PHL-preK program, and expanding our Extended Day, Extended Year program to 47 Schools. #PHLBudget

Safe, reliable transit is the bedrock of economic mobility. That’s why the “One Philly, One Future” budget delivers a historic almost $900 Million investment in @septaphilly over the five-year plan.    We are proposing to continue our investment in the Zero Fare program and are and to continue covering fares for our employees through Key Advantage!   Public Transit is ESSENTIAL to our region’s future and to economic mobility for our Residents and businesses!

This Women’s History Month we celebrate the strength, brilliance, and resilience of the women who shape Philadelphia every single day.  From community leaders, and educators to artists, entrepreneurs, mothers, and changemakers—Philly women continue to inspire, uplift, and pave the way for future generations. We honor the voices, stories, and impact of the women who make this city stronger.  Happy Women’s History Month, Philadelphia.

It’s budget week, Philadelphia! This Thursday, March 12, I will deliver my Third Budget Address to @PHLCouncil and lay out to you my Fiscal Year 2027 Budget to keep building “One Philly”: a Safer, Cleaner, Greener City, with Access to Economic Opportunity for all. My promise to you: We will deliver a government you can see, touch, and feel, and work hard for you every single day. I look forward to sharing it with you all and delivering results for all Philadelphians.

Get excited PHILLY! 🏆⚽️   We are now less than 100 days out from the biggest sports spectacle in the world coming to our City.   It’s a tremendous honor to be a host city for the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup with Philadelphia representing our nation on the global stage.    Philadelphia is ready to welcome the world this year. Sunday, June 14 can’t come soon enough!   #OnePhilly —— @FIFAcom, @FWC26Philly

Expanding affordable housing for all Philadelphians is at the core of our city’s #PHLBudget.   With the groundbreaking of the new @PhilaHsgAuthPHA Westpark Apartments, we are paving the way for 327 new homes in West Philadelphia.    This redevelopment is part of my $2 billion H.O.M.E. Initiative, and the goal is achievable.   30,000 units of housing built, restored or repaired — and thanks to Kelvin Jeremiah and PHA’s plan of including 20,000 units of affordable housing – we can, and will reach 50,000 units of housing for Philadelphians!   WESTPARK APARTMENTS ARE A PART OF THIS GOAL. And I’m committed – and will do everything in my power to see that this project succeeds. Thank you to, @GovernorShapiro @SenHughesOffice @RepMcClinton @RepDwightEvans @RepAmenBrown @CouncilmemberJG @JoeDeFeliceHUD @PHLPlanDevelop @PHFAtweets

Last night in Wynnefield, nine members of the @PhillyFireDept were injured while bravely battling a rowhome fire and protecting lives. I have been briefed by Fire Commissioner Jeffrey Thompson and remain in close contact with him. While several firefighters were treated and released, others remain hospitalized. We are grateful that all are reported to be in stable condition. I extend my deepest thoughts and prayers to each firefighter who was hurt, and to their families and fellow first responders who stood shoulder to shoulder in that dangerous moment. That is who they are. They run toward danger so the rest of us can be safe. We are also keeping in our hearts with the neighbors in Wynnefield who were displaced, and all those impacted by this fire. Philadelphia stands united in prayer and gratitude for the heroic service of these men and women. We are praying for their full and swift recovery.
