"Experts say criminalizing people for their health problems only makes things worse...To break that cycle, dozens of cities nationwide have launched alternative crisis response programs." Great piece on mobile crisis response units in @theappeal today.

Non-Police Crisis Response Programs Have Been Working. Here’s How.

Many cities have created non-police crisis response teams. These unarmed first responders often answer 911 calls for mental health crises.

I’m thrilled to be voting for my dear friend @kendraforphilly , a champion for low wage workers, housing justice, & public schools. She won historic paid sick leave, stopped thousands of evictions, and won millions for libraries, rec centers and mental health services. I love her.

i’m deeply committed to remaining in philly and obviously Montco has more tax dollars to go around. but most philly tax cuts result in windfalls for the ultra-rich and pennies on the dollar for the average Philadelphian, all the while depriving city services of vital revenue.

It is arguable that the Democratic candidate is to the right of the Republican candidate on many big issues in the Philly mayor's race: the proposed 76ers arena, asking for National Guard intervention, year round school, stop and frisk

the “we need to grow our tax base by attracting the rich” argument for tax cuts is BS. studies show wealthy people don’t decide where to live based on taxes. if we want to retain residents and grow as a city we must make the city desirable and livable for working families.

My friend @NicForPhilly is a pastor & movement leader who embodies moral clarity. When the GOP tried to steal the 2020 election, when Roe was overturned, when gun violence was tearing blocks apart—he was there. Nicolas shows up, fights, and wins. He will do the same on Council.

if you’re a journalist who writes about the overdose crisis, decriminalization, or harm reduction—or a person who uses drugs, person in recovery, organizer, or service provider—let’s talk. i’ll no longer be primarily focused on philly, but i’m not going anywhere. go birds 🦅

also, i try not to use the term “drug users” like I did in the first tweet because it can be stigmatizing and dehumanizing — prefer to use “people who use drugs” — but I wrote this in a blind fury and sometimes i slip up. apologies for that.

working in philly has given me a front row seat to the ways stigma and misinformation dominate drug policy debates, perpetuating the same problems and harming those most in need. we can do better than recycling failed approaches of the past—and @DrugPolicyOrg is leading the way.
