Friend,

In 2020, the Pittsburgh City Council established the Stop the Violence Fund — a fund that gives money to internal departments and community organizations to address violence and poverty. The goal is to support initiatives that will help prevent evictions, engage kids in after-school activities, provide food in underserved areas, and more.

I was proud to testify in support of Council President Lavelle and Councilman Mosely’s efforts to strengthen and improve the fund. Public safety is one of the most important components of our communities — and we need to make sure that our resources are being utilized to make the biggest impact.

With these investments, we’re building stronger communities. But this fight isn’t limited to Pittsburgh. In Harrisburg, I’m working to ensure there is support for these evidence-based approaches at the state level.

If you believe in smart, accountable investment in violence prevention and public safety, chip in now to keep me in the State Senate:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Thank you,

Lindsey Williams
