Additionally, 215PA is a multi-neighborhood and multiracial collaborative. Most recently they've worked on campaigns for paid sick leave, ending mass incarceration & reimagining community safety. All of this makes 215PA feel like a natural home for our work.

We’ve been a bit quiet lately, however, a lot has been going on behind the scenes as we’ve taken time to focus on restructuring, visioning & lasting impact. That said, we’re excited to share some news: Philly We Rise is going to become a part of @215Alliance!

Who all gonna be there for TODAY’s live discussion Healing Our City: Unpacking and Undoing the Harm of the Rizzo Administration — A Conversation with Movement Leaders? I’m glad you asked! A lil thread on Kris Henderson, Candace McKinley, Reuben Jones, and Dr. Linn Washington.

We’re out here today calling for #JusticeForFanta. The police who killed her must be held accountable and the ridiculous murder charges brought by @da_delco against two Black youth -which are just there to deflect blame away from the police- must be dropped.

Our #NewYearsResolutions: end mass incarceration and win second chances for the many not the few ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 What do you want to see in the world in 2022?

From labor rights to housing justice, I wanted to share some of our proudest wins from 2021. Thank you to the countless organizers, students, educators, and community members who made every win this year possible. Onward!

I stand with @SenSharifStreet in calling for solutions that address the root causes of violence. Decades of disinvestment, an unlivable minimum wage, the housing crisis & defunded public schools got us here. To address violence, we must rebuild our community from the ground up.

Horrified and heartbroken by yet another example of the way the gun violence epidemic is impacting my neighbors in Nicetown and our constituents across Philadelphia. This is the cry of a community in crisis. We must do more. inquirer.com/news/sharif-st…

Every day God gives me is a good one, but today began with the challenge of gun violence. #Enough #tuesdaymotivations

“Street said it was the first time the office building had been hit by bullets and there was no indication the office had been targeted. But gunfire is part of the everyday lives of many of his constituents, he said.” inquirer.com/news/sharif-st…
