RT @KendraPHL: Yesterday we marched against gun violence, built community relationships, & shared resources. Later, a mass shooting erupted, demonstrating how a relentless stream of gun violence is tearing our communities apart. Now is not the time to be silent. 🧵 https://t.co/yeDh0aVslG | 0 | 11108 | |

We fight for a city that fully funds its public services — providing safe schools, affordable housing, universal health care, libraries, parks — not its police. | 38 | 11108 | |

In Uvalde and in Philadelphia, as in countless other tragedies, police have proved unable or unwilling to stop the violence. South Street is heavily policed, and the PPD well-funded. https://t.co/Miw9nsCnoL | 56 | 11108 | |

RT @AmistadLaw: The stakes are too high to get it wrong. If we could police our way out of this crisis a mass shooting would not occur in one of the most heavily policed corridors in Philly. We must grow and fund countless community and city initiatives aimed at reducing violence in society. | 0 | 11108 | |

We've done the math, and the District can afford to put a Corsi-Rosenthal box in every public school classroom in Philadelphia. It's a simple, cost-effective solution that would make our schools safer for our children. 6/7 https://t.co/lsGFyOdDuA |

Fortunately, we have a great stop-gap solution. Corsi-Rosenthal boxes-- a DIY method of building your own air filter with MERV13 furnace filters and a box fan-- are an easy, cost-effective way to clear indoor air from airborne virus particles 5/7 https://t.co/nyvQsfCMmr | 7 | 11100 | |

In an effort to document the severity of the ventilation problem in Philly's public schools, parents began sending students to school with CO2 monitors. Low levels of CO2 indicate a space is well-ventilated, reducing the odds of catching COVID-19. 3/7 https://t.co/j4BNO0DuU6 | 9 | 11100 | |

Instead of repairing HVAC systems, in July of 2021 the District purchased $4.5 million worth of air-purifiers, which experts warned were not only ineffective at reducing the spread of COVID-19, but had the potential to create harmful chemicals. 2/7 https://t.co/CW0ww03xLA | 10 | 11100 | |

This move will be impossible for some and a major burden on the rest. Workers who rented apartments based on affordability and proximity to the warehouse are seeing their lives thrown into disarray. Others will end up paying far more to commute as the price of gas skyrockets. https://t.co/THChPV1PuH |
