Contact tracing is a critical part of Philadelphia’s response to the pandemic and will help stop the spread of COVID-19. Learn about the process ⬇️ https://t.co/A6OI7l7xM7 — PolitiTweet.org

For many, tomorrow marks the start of school. This school year will be different for us all, but what Philadelphia has shown me throughout this pandemic is that we are strong, we are persistent, and we will succeed together. Stay safe and #MaskUpPHL. https://t.co/SmQaBJUQVq — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the #PhillyCounts team for their work promoting the census. Since they started phone banking, the team has made 233,000 calls, engaged 30,000 households, and helped 13,800 households make a plan to complete the census. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Census data affects our city’s funding and congressional representation for the next 10 years. We need everyone living in Philadelphia to be counted. Please take 10 minutes or less and fill out the #2020Census for your household now: https://t.co/d1efuyIrU2. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We have less than one month to fill out the #2020Census, and so far only about 53% of Philadelphia households have completed it. We need to do better. https://t.co/9aukUeQMc6 — PolitiTweet.org

Beginning Sept. 3, students and families can pick up grab-and-go meal boxes at any of the 62 @PHLschools meal distribution sites, regardless of what school they attend. No student ID required. https://t.co/61010fIQrj — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Last week we announced that families would be required to have a student ID number to pick up student meals. Glad to say this is no longer the case. Thanks to advocacy at the local and national level, the USDA has extended the waiver to the National School Lunch program. — PolitiTweet.org

September is #SuicidePrevention Month. In Philadelphia, we’ve seen a nearly 17% increase in deaths by suicide. Philly has one of the nation's best networks to listen, help, and care.

The #2020Census has just nine questions, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. If every person in Philly is counted, we can ensure that our city will get its fair share of political representation and federal funding for the next 10 years. https://t.co/d1efuyIrU2 #PhillyCounts https://t.co/YaaMXAKLnX — PolitiTweet.org

Are you or someone you know unable to pay rent because of the COVID-19 crisis? The #PHLRentAssist program could help. The deadline to submit applications is September 30 or when funding runs out. https://t.co/hHns2bGPmO — PolitiTweet.org

These counts include only Philly residents. Some college students who tested positive may not be reflected in this weekend’s reported cases. @PHLPublicHealth is aware of the outbreak at Temple University. We expect to get a clearer understanding of its impact in the coming days. — PolitiTweet.org

Restaurant owners are among the hardest hit by the pandemic. I’m sorry if my decision hurt those who’ve worked to keep their businesses going under difficult circumstances. Looking forward to reopening indoor dining soon and visiting my favorite spots. https://t.co/Ki3lIZV8i4 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I know some are upset that I dined indoors at a restaurant in Maryland yesterday. I felt the risk was low because the county I visited has had fewer than 800 COVID-19 cases, compared to over 33,000 cases in Philadelphia. Regardless, I understand the frustration. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply disappointed by this thoughtless and hurtful act. Thank you to ⁦@muralarts⁩ for working quickly to restore the artwork by David McShane. Sgt. Robert Wilson III remains an inspiration, and his larger-than-life depiction outshines ignorance. https://t.co/YNwVPGIuF1 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to everyone who made #PHLPlayStreets happen this summer, despite the challenges we faced. Your dedication and hard work made a real difference for our city’s kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

I urge the state legislature to revise the rent assistance program to ensure that we can use the CARES Act funding to help as many residents as possible. We don’t need barriers to getting people the support they desperately need during this crisis. https://t.co/oqlx0LWhsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Inspired by how many people are working around the clock to ensure students have what they need for this school year—from today’s backpack giveaway to internet access through #PHLConnectED. We will not let COVID-19 derail our kids’ success. #LogOnPHL #PHLed https://t.co/nQampeSgkw — PolitiTweet.org
