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

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!

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.
