Well, I've let my kids get on screen time a lot earlier to respond to this (1/8) https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-business-community-political-power-progressive-movement-20201228.html

This article spends a lot of time talking about how businesses need more power in city hall when it is evident to anyone with a pulse that they need far, far less. (2/8)

. @PHLCouncil members have fought for workers, renters, students to reform tax codes and basic protections (like ones on how to fight COVID-unsafe work practices at your job, thank you @HelenGymPHL!) because we have little ability to govern our own taxes cause of Harrisburg (3/8)

We would not have to pass small tax reforms to gain basic money to pay for schools and rec centers if we could, you know, just make @comcast and @IBX pay their fair share (or @Penn for that matter) (4/8)

Complexity isn't the problem. POVERTY and racism are the problems. If we had lavishly funded schools and basic income to replace what workers lost in the crash the economy would be booming. (5/8)

If people like this guy had it their way we'd have legal wage discrimination, fast food employees would have no predictable schedules and women could be fired for taking care of sick children. Literally those are bills council has passed to protect workers in the last years (6/8)

I have spent a lot of time in the caucus room and we need way more everyday people in that room, not fewer. If Council is focused on the needs of the people who are electing them that's the way it should be, and weaker access for business is something we should celebrate. (7/8)

Progressive electoral power with deep roots in our neighborhoods must keep growing so @PHLCouncil @PhillyMayor have more backing to fund our real people and their needs, not less. (Not to mention Harrisburg.) (8/8
