Proud of my wife April Street for attending the Women’s History Month Brunch hosted by @RepMcClinton. When women lead and support one another, our communities grow stronger. #StreetForCongress #StreetOnTheStreet #WomensHistoryMonth

North Philadelphia taught me how to fight for all of us. In Congress, I’ll keep delivering real results. #StreetForCongress #StreetForUs 📍String Theory School ➡️ ⁦@CrosstownPHL⁩ — ⁦@NBCPhiladelphia⁩ @Telemundo62 ⁦@Laurenjmayk⁩

Great to join neighbors at the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade today. ☘️ For 255 years this tradition has celebrated the Irish community and the immigrant spirit that helped build our city. Always proud to celebrate the cultures and traditions that make Philadelphia so special. #StreetForCongress #Philly #StPatricksDay #StreetOnTheStreet

Stopped by Level Up Philly’s Spring Break program to spend time with Pastor Aaron Campbell, local youth, and students visiting from @HowardU. Great conversations about leadership, opportunity, and lifting up the next generation. And yes… we wrapped it up the Philly way with Mister Softee. 🍦 Spaces like this change lives. #StreetForCongress #Philly #PA03

House Republicans are at it again. Now they’re talking about banning Muslims from entering this country. As a Muslim and a Philadelphian, let me be clear — Muslims are not the problem. Immigrants are not the problem. The real problem is politicians trying to stir up hate instead of lowering costs and helping working families. I’ve fought for hate crime legislation and against Islamophobia and bigotry, and I’ll keep doing that in Congress. Because in Philadelphia, we don’t divide people — we stand together.

From Charleston to Tree of Life to West Bloomfield — attacks on houses of worship are attacks on all of us. No one should fear for their life when they go to pray. Antisemitism is a poison that must be condemned every single time, without equivocation. Praying for the safety of the Jewish community in West Bloomfield and everyone affected. Reports indicate that armed security may have saved lives today. As a Congressman, I will fight for increased security funding for our houses of worship — synagogues, mosques, and churches — just as I have led and delivered on security funding as a member of the State Senate. We need leaders who stand against all forms of hate — antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism — not leaders who fan the flames. Hatred targeting any community endangers every community. I will work in Congress to strengthen our federal hate crimes laws and ensure every American can worship, gather, and live without fear.

Honored to have the endorsement of Councilmember Rue Landau — a friend and colleague since our law school days more than 30 years ago. Grateful to stand together for a more inclusive and fair Philadelphia. #StreetForCongress #PA03

And just like that, petition season is over! We’ve officially filed over 12,000 petition signatures to get on the ballot for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District. 🎊 That’s far more than what’s required — and it reflects the incredible grassroots support powering this campaign across every neighborhood in our district. These signatures represent conversations with neighbors at train stations, farmers markets, churches, community meetings, and front stoops throughout Philadelphia. Thank you to the nearly 200 volunteers, supporters, and voters who helped make this possible. This campaign is built by the community — and we’re just getting started. On to May 19th! 🗳️✅ #StreetForCongress #PA03 #OnTheBallot #Philly

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei throughout his leadership and life embraced terrorism and brutally suppressed the civil rights of his own people while acting as a destabilizing force in the Middle East and around the world. It’s clear that Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. However, the chaotic situation in Iran is perilous for the Iranian people and the world. Donald Trump has shown time and again that he lacks the traits, temperament, and basic skills necessary to successfully manage this situation. The Constitution vests the power to declare war in Congress — not the president. While the Iranian regime is a dangerous actor that must be aggressively confronted, Trump’s blatant disregard for our Constitutional norms threatens international stability. These decisions belong to the American people through their elected representatives, and I’m running for Congress to fight for these basic constitutional principles and safeguard the American people and our interests abroad. Therefore I am calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on a more narrowly tailored measure that will allow the US to defend its interests while exercising its oversight over this President to stop him from unilaterally starting wars all over the world.

@realDonaldTrump cannot act unilaterally.

@realDonaldTrump cannot act unilaterally.

Friday Jr. got us feeling good 😎 Only 82 days until Election Day on May 19 —let’s keep knocking, talking, and building this movement across the district. #StreetForCongress #82DaysOut #Philly #LetsGo

Honored to have the endorsement of State Rep. ⁦@AndreDCarroll⁩ — a Germantown native, openly gay progressive leader, and strong voice for working families in PA-03. Grateful for his partnership. #StreetForCongress #PA03

Grateful to everyone who helped launch Driving Hunger Away During Ramadan. This year’s alignment of Ramadan, Lunar New Year, and Lent is a powerful reminder of the shared values that bring communities together — compassion, reflection, and service. #StreetForCongress #EndHunger #Ramadan

Proud to stand with Avenging Our Ancestors at the Rally to Restore the Truth. A federal court has now ordered the monument restored — proof that when communities stand up, truth wins. Philly doesn’t erase history. We tell it. #StreetForCongress #TellTheTruth #PhillyStrong

Reverend Jesse Jackson wasn't just a lion of the civil rights movement, he was a friend of our family. I will always remember my father asking me to meet Rev. Jackson up at the airport for his visits to Atlanta when I was a student at Morehouse — and the lessons he instilled in me during those encounters. Rev. Jackson was a part of the generation that laid the foundation for the work we do today. He fought for communities like mine to have a voice in the political process. He leveraged the rhetorical skills honed through his work with Dr. King to build coalitions to create political power, transforming families like mine, who often spoke truth to power, into leaders of a political movement that harnessed the voices of voters to effect change. The organizing he did helped build a coalition of political power which included Black folks, the Latino community, the women's movement and liberals. He called this his Rainbow Coalition. His legacy is creating the bridge between the civil rights movement and the modern progressive movement. This is a legacy that lives on in his sons, my friends, Congressmen Jesse Jackson Jr. and Jonathan Jackson. During this difficult time in our nation's history, when Donald Trump is once again stoking hatred and division in our country, we must recommit ourselves to the timeless principles that Rev. Jackson stood for by building a nation where every person, regardless of their race, is treated with dignity. We must remember that Rev. Jesse Jackson's legacy — from the boycotts to the political campaigns — set the stage for a movement across the nation, as well as the work of my family and my own career. Now, all of us who are ideological heirs to his legacy must do the work to “keep hope alive.”

This is what victory looks like when the community joins forces and fights back! ✊🏾 inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
