Tonight, Derek takes the forum stage to outline his plan to deliver transformative progress to Philadelphia — especially when it comes to one of the most important issues plaguing our City: The gun violence epidemic.
Derek is running to be your next Mayor because he has actionable solutions for our City, solutions that don’t require you to pick one thing or another. Derek is in the business of AND not OR: Derek knows that we can reduce gun violence AND protect the civil rights of all Philadelphians. We can invest in Black businesses so people can pick up a paycheck AND put down a gun.
Derek is a proven leader who’s brought real solutions to the table: from cutting taxes for small businesses and residents to legislation for a city public bank and gun reform to increasing funding for more police officers and public safety.
Lots of candidates will talk about it tonight, but Derek has already proven he can do it.
