John, Councilmember Derek Green has long championed transformative solutions that work for everyone across Philadelphia. That’s why our team wanted to reach out in regard to Mayor Kenney’s recent budget proposal.

Given the unprecedented challenges our city is facing, Derek believes this proposal lacks the urgency to bring about real change for our community members and neighbors.

From our city’s ongoing gun violence epidemic and public safety crisis to the economic crisis impacting Black and Brown businesses, we deserve bold, transformative leadership to directly address these concerns and move our city forward.

This budget proposal does not give our community the resources and funding it needs to be successful — and our team needs you to step up and advocate for long-term, transformative solutions.

Please take a moment to sign our petition today if you agree with Derek that Philadelphia needs urgent action to address our public safety crisis and the other major issues facing our city:

Philadelphia has received $1.4 billion in federal pandemic aid — Derek believes we should be using this to fund long term solutions that will make our city safe, equitable, and prosperous for everyone. Instead, only a fraction of that sum is being used right now.

This is our opportunity to fight for bold investments that improve the lives of all Philadelphians.

Councilmember Green has the vision to move our city forward. From his public banking initiative and legislation to ensure voting accessibility to his work to address our city’s police shortage, he’s fighting for the bold action that we need.

Sign our petition if you agree that Philadelphia should invest every penny we can in funding transformative solutions to our public safety crisis and the other major issues facing our city:
