Guilty on all counts #DerekChauvinVerdict This is step towards justice and healing for #GeorgeFloyd’s family and community. We sat in silence and waited and pra...yed. At 5:08 on 4/20/21 - we breathed a sigh of relief. But it’s a problem that we were so unsure, we’ve seen it go the other way too many times. Many people before #GeorgeFloyd and since have lost their lives at the hands of police with indisputable video evidence - these trials have not ended the same way. Tonight we all process however we need. Tomorrow we continue the work. Hopefully the #DerekChauvinTrial is a turning point. We are continuing to reform traffic stops and 9-1-1 responses and public safety resources. The work is far from over. But this is a huge step.

In celebration of #EarthDay and #ArborDay, I’m hosting a virtual green jobs fair and a community engagement session on the #PhillyTreePlan! Job fair: 4/21 at 1... PM Tree plan: 4/30 at 1 PM Email [email protected] to RSVP!
