We must focus on reconciliation, understanding, listening—and yes, action. This marks the beginning of a path toward real change in Philadelphia, and hopefully across America. https://t.co/JoAKv8ECiY — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We are beginning to take action against officers we’ve seen acting inappropriately, and we will continue to do so. Excessive force will not be tolerated. We’ll have more to share on our other commitments to address issues of police violence in the near future. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This week has been humbling. It has shown me—someone who considers themselves to be progressive and an ally—that there is a great deal more for me to learn. Black voices have been silenced for too long. We must hear those voices and act on their demands. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/I3r4JDqm1h — PolitiTweet.org

A long history of institutional racism has brought us to this moment. Our administration is determined to deconstruct this broken system and replace it with one that works for all Philadelphians. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Gun violence is connected to another crisis as old as our republic. It’s the reason thousands are marching in every major city right now. Racism. Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. Philando Castile. Alton Sterling. Trayvon Martin. Tamir Rice. And too many other Black lives to name. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This year, we’ve lost nearly 170 lives to violence here in Philadelphia. Most of these victims were shot, and many were only teenagers when they were suddenly taken from us. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Many people, including me, chose to #WearOrange to honor those lost to gun violence. #SaferPHL — PolitiTweet.org

We're taking @BarackObama's pledge to address police use of force policies in Philadelphia. We look forward to working with our community to begin this process of real change and healing. https://t.co/JofJjnfkuk — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

This listening—this effort toward reconciliation—is long overdue. The voices of those who have taken to the streets and their demands to be heard have led us to this point. We pledge to do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

The group will focus on the long-term, on reconciliation, on understanding, and on listening. They will look at public safety, criminal justice reform, and the underlying factors of what experts call "structural violence," particularly pervasive poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

It has become increasingly clear to me that our administration and many public servants, including me, need to find a better way to listen. Today we announced the formation of a steering committee to support our residents and move to a place of reconciliation and healing. — PolitiTweet.org
