The Kensington Community Resilience Fund awarded its 1st round of grants—totaling $200,000—to 20 nonprofit organizations addressing the impacts of the opioid crisis in Kensington. The projects will support activities from youth soccer to community gardens. https://t.co/MeEEqcM7f8 — PolitiTweet.org

Picked up a hat at VIV Unique Clothing during the tour and enjoyed learning more about some of the shops in the area, including Sunshine Supermarket, EZ Beauty, Salon RS, and African Expressions. https://t.co/ou4GiHD0dy — PolitiTweet.org

Met with business owners along 60th street today. Local small businesses are crucial to our city’s economy, and I’m so grateful to meet with owners and hear directly from them about how the City can continue to support small businesses. https://t.co/Y12I7uBs81 — PolitiTweet.org

The expanded PlayStreets program is a wonderful Philadelphia tradition, powered by hundreds of amazing community volunteers who serve as neighborhood site supervisors. Each year, these unsung heroes make summer a time of fun and joy for thousands of kids. https://t.co/eAHkYwn9F8 — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 cases are rising around the country and in our city. @PHLPublicHealth is now recommending that all Philadelphians #MaskUpPHL while indoors in public spaces where you don’t know if everyone is vaccinated. https://t.co/KlV33tOvpY — PolitiTweet.org

#RebuildPHL is made possible by the #PhillyBevTax, and investing in our public spaces is more important than ever. Our city’s students, families, and young people deserve to have safe and engaging spaces in their communities to recreate and play. https://t.co/y0jb5nQeni — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Thanks to recreation leader Dana Clark for his leadership in helping to advocate for the funding needed for this project, and thanks to @PhilaParkandRec, @PHSgardening, @phlplandevelop, @rideindego, and the local community for helping to shape the vision for this new playground. https://t.co/vf2lmDCG4W — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

For this #RebuildPHL project, we invested $2.2M in funding to expand the 8th and Diamond recreation center and made improvements that will accommodate future programming, a universally accessible sprayground, brand new play equipment for all ages, and much more. https://t.co/ayNi6NhuiS — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This morning, I joined #RebuildPHL, @Darrell_Clarke, partners, and North Central Philly families to unveil this beautiful new playground and outdoor area at 8th and Diamond. This updated playground will benefit the entire neighborhood for generations to come. https://t.co/2ZBm04ho3x — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This Friday, July 23 is the deadline for grassroots organizations to apply for this round of Targeted Community Investment Grants. Over the last 2 years, this initiative has funded 125+ projects with a combined award of more than $2.2M. Learn more: https://t.co/PxzukGKL8b. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We cannot combat our city’s gun violence alone. We continue to need partnerships with community and faith leaders, with law enforcement, with organizations that provide prevention programming on the ground, and from families and witnesses to cooperate with police and report tips. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I am hopeful that the expanded resources, our economic improvements since the pandemic, and our new federal partnership around community violence intervention will have a positive impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I want to assure all Philadelphians that there is no greater priority for our administration than reducing violence and saving lives. Make no mistake—we know residents are worried. I hear it from business owners. I hear it in community meetings. I read about it in your emails. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Governor Wolf and I have discussed the potential for a state order like in New York, and we will continue those discussions. The City would welcome additional state resources and changes to regulations that stem the access and flow of illegal guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I’ve consulted with my leadership team working to address gun violence about this. The team includes people of color from neighborhoods impacted by violence. They are focused on action, like implementing proven violence reduction strategies & getting illegal guns off the street. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

While some may not agree with my decision, I’m doing what I believe in my heart is best for the city. Allegations that I would take a different approach if this were happening more in white communities are simply untrue and deeply offensive. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

A local emergency declaration won't achieve the outcomes it sounds like it would. -It won't unlock new funding -It won't change the immense interagency coordination that is occurring -It won't change @PhillyPolice's work to get illegal firearms & dangerous people off our streets — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I also want to address calls for a local emergency declaration for gun violence. We believe a local declaration could have unintended consequences and cause more fear in our communities, especially communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I want to begin by addressing the devastating fact that we’ve already surpassed 300 homicides this year. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. It’s an indicator that this is a public health crisis of epic proportions. — PolitiTweet.org
