My team was able to go to a PFT strike prep this week, to help out the teachers in our community.
Teachers deserve a fair contract! Teachers deserve good benefits and sick leave.
Teachers deserve pay that reflects how much they do for the children and how much they mean to the community!

Last week I was honored to be a part of a ROPA panel discussion. The event was attended by musicians from all across the country. As Evan from the AFL-CIO said, "food grows best when your shadows on the soil".

We have a new mural in our district - a work of art celebrating William Still and his family for their instrumental role in Philadelphia's history of the Underground Railroad.

We presented the artist, Ernel Martinez, with a citation from our office for the creation of the beautiful work of art.

Big corporations pay the least amount of taxes possible. It’s time that corporations are held accountable for their exploitative capitalism that preys on small businesses and everyday workers. When they find ways to exploit laws to hide their income, they’re hurting people like you every day.

Waxman Closer to Providing Tax Relief for Holocaust Survivors
Waxman Closer to Providing Tax Relief for Holocaust Survivors YouTube video by Pa. House Video

I was happy to testify in the #PaSenate on my bill to provide tax relief on restitution to Holocaust survivors. This bill is one step closer to becoming law and affording these survivors additional relief for their strength & courage.
