For nearly two centuries, the museum of the The Academy of Natural Sciences has been the physical embodiment of a commitment to public natural history education. I was outraged to learn of the plans for its closure, both as a long-standing member of the museum and as an elected representative committed to the health and vitality of Philadelphia. It is unacceptable for a world-class city like ours to allow its major natural history museum to close.

The mismanagement of such a treasured asset is a profound insult to the residents of the city and to the incomparable workers and curators at the museum. We cannot allow it.

This museum is a place where generation after generation first became enthralled with our world, and as we face the enormity of the climate crisis and an unprecedented loss of biodiversity, the continuation of the museum’s legacy of marvel and care for the natural world has never been more urgent. Partners from all levels of government must unite in our efforts to see this vital work continue.

Every day, my office hears from constituents who are terrified that they won't be able to afford the healthcare that their loved ones need. If passed, the PA Universal Healthcare Act would ensure that all Pennsylvanians have access to comprehensive, high-quality healthcare, as well as residents of other states who work at least 20 hours per week within our Commonwealth.

No one in our Commonwealth should be forced to forgo medical care simply because they cannot afford the high costs. We need healthcare for all of us.

Proud to join efforts with HealthCare4ALLPA.

A momentous time in our household, with Ishaan, who was a year old when I announced my campaign in 2019, entering 2nd grade and Mayukh, who was born three months after I was sworn in, starting kindergarten!

Our family is one of hundreds of thousands who headed back to school with the School District of Philadelphia this week. Each year, I’m more and more awed by the care of our educators, the commitment of our staff, and the brilliance of our students.

Both kids were excited and ready as we walked them over and dropped them off. Shannon and I are doing fine ... truly ... 😭

Philadelphia’s greatest strength lies in its communities.
