John,

The longest government shutdown in our nation’s history is just coming to an end. And I know many Philadelphians are hurting.

I’m committed to building a Philadelphia where everyone feels safe, supported, and proud to call this city home. You’re used to me asking for money for my campaign, but this is bigger than just me or you. This is about our community.

That’s why this month, I’m asking you to, if you’re able, give to an organization that is helping federal government workers instead. PA211 is a great choice; you can find their donation information here.

If you have been affected by the government shutdown,

• Apply for a short-term water bill and tax payment deferment.
• Find free or inexpensive food and meals here.
