John,

As President of the Philadelphia City Council, I’m committed to fighting for a budget that delivers for our city.

Governor Josh Shapiro proposed a path toward a $15 minimum wage, increased funding for K-12 schools, and new resources for career and technical education that prepare students and workers for today’s economy. These are real opportunities for Philadelphia’s families, but they won’t become a reality without strong advocacy.

I’m asking for your support today to help us push these priorities forward in Harrisburg. Can you chip in to help us keep up the fight?

Pennsylvania is at a turning point.

Governor Shapiro’s proposed budget makes clear investments in the things that matter most to Philadelphia families: raising the minimum wage, strengthening public education, and expanding tech and career training so people can access good-paying jobs.

However, the budget does not give additional funding for SEPTA. And I will keep fighting for this every single day. We know how important SEPTA is for Philadelphians.

We can and will keep fighting for real progress for Philadelphia. That fight starts today. Donate $10 or anything you can here to help make this future a reality.

Thank you for standing with us.

In solidarity,

Kenyatta Johnson
