I was asked about @GovernorTomWolf's call to legalize recreational marijuana. I’ve long supported legalization. While on Council, I introduced the bill to decriminalize small amounts of pot. I fully support the plan. Using the revenue to support small businesses is a bonus. https://t.co/6XUGbe7V7Q — PolitiTweet.org

We're on a good track, both locally and around the country, but don't take this progress for granted! Case rates are now rising in Europe. In fact, Philadelphia has lower rates than Spain or France. The lesson: Keep up your efforts! Keep your distance and #MaskUpPHL. https://t.co/gj89O2fV0U — PolitiTweet.org

Our 32 Access Centers support the Philadelphia's most vulnerable children during digital learning. They are not drop-in centers or a replacement for schools. We are prioritizing students whose caregivers must work outside the home and who cannot afford or access other childcare. — PolitiTweet.org
