To be clear, police are enforcing the law. If you are committing gun crimes, you will be arrested. We are calling on the District Attorney to vigorously enforce all firearm-related charges. We must send a clear message: Put the guns down, or face consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We need everyone to come together to stop gun violence all the time, but never more so than right now. Government, residents, non-profits, and community organizations must be united in our response to both COVID-19 and gun violence. https://t.co/j6qSGTSyDh — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Last night we saw another horrible example of Philadelphia’s other public health crisis—gun violence. In one incident, five people were shot, including a 2-year-old and a 14-year-old. This is horrible by itself, and during the COVID-19 crisis, it feels even more gut-wrenching. — PolitiTweet.org

Early childhood education is one of the best investments we can make for our future. But like other small businesses, many of these programs are now threatened by the economic downturn. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Businesses have been severely impacted, evidenced by the overwhelming demand in this program. We will make decisions quickly to support as many businesses as we can and save jobs. We’re also working to identify other funds and connect businesses to state and federal resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Update about the Small Business Relief Fund: All applications received by 5 p.m today will be reviewed for consideration. After that, only the Microenterprise Grants of $5,000 will remain open; the other two tiers of the program will be closed. https://t.co/JOjkZDcyCp — PolitiTweet.org

Contracts with our four municipal worker unions are set to expire at the end of June. We're working on a one-year extension so employees can focus on the crisis at hand. We signed with the FOP Lodge 5 last night; we're confident that we'll reach an agreement with the others soon. — PolitiTweet.org
