As a trained restorative justice facilitator, I know that disrupting cycles of harm is only possible if we address the underlying issues that drive most violent incidents: mental health crises, substance abuse disorder, and deep poverty. That’s why I championed full funding for mobile crisis units, which help community members experiencing mental health episodes, and why I remain a strong advocate for harm reduction approaches to address the opioid crisis.

Philadelphians deserve good wages and an economy that works for all, not just the wealthy and well-connected. That’s why I won COVID-19 paid sick leave for all frontline workers and it’s why I will continue fighting alongside my brothers and sisters in the labor movement to guarantee that all Philadelphians have access to a good paying union job, strong benefits, and safe working conditions.
