We urge @PHLCouncil to confirm Joyce Wilkerson's nomination for Philadelphia's Board of Education today #PhlEd
Public Interest Law Center@PubIntLawCtr
Joyce Wilkerson provides stable leadership, strong advocacy for sufficient resources, and the effective oversight of charter schools that is the Board of Education's legal, ethical, and moral obligation. She should be confirmed. #PhlEd pubintlaw.org/cases-and-proj…

ALL of this!

Joyce Wilkerson doesn't just deserve to be on the @PHLschoolboard ...Philadelphia NEEDS her on the team. So, who is Joyce? Let's learn a little about her: Joyce is selflessly committed to others. For almost double my lifetime, she has given her full self to serve others. 1/11

Let’s talk REAL facts on charter schools and the @PHLschoolboard role in closures. Most people don’t talk fact, so here they are. And let’s be clear- there are some GREAT charters (like Keystone, expanded by 500 seats). talk fact.

Today, I'm announcing I will not issue any execution warrants during my term as Governor.
When one comes to my desk, I will sign a reprieve every time — and I’m asking the General Assembly to send me a bill abolishing the death penalty in Pennsylvania once and for all.

Thank you, @GovernorShapiro!
ACLU of Pennsylvania@aclupa
BREAKING: @GovernorShapiro announced today that he will continue the moratorium on executions started by his predecessor, Tom Wolf. He's also urging the legislature to repeal capital punishment. The death penalty has no place in a free, democratic society. 1/ 🧵

NEW: In a historic victory for students, a judge has declared Pennsylvania's school funding system unconstitutional.
