While @PennsylvaniaDEP plans to plug this well, we discussed how there are still thousands across Pennsylvania yet to be identified. That’s why we must pass my Bipartisan Abandoned Wells Remediation and Research Act.
I started off the day with @PennsylvaniaDEP visiting Ivan + Pamela’s beautiful Murrysville home. However, as far too many of us know all to well, they also have an abandoned oil well in their property, which continues to emit toxins in the community.
About 70 protesters block the intersection of Forbes and Bigelow on Pitt’s campus staging a “die-in” in support of Palestinians amidst escalating violence in Gaza.
PublicSource’s annual review of Pittsburgh payroll data shows that Mayor Ed Gainey’s administration has improved diversity in hiring, though not in the better-paid public safety bureaus. buff.ly/3IUo2sk
Down to $170! A huge thank you to everyone who sends support! Y'all are amazing. 🥰🤗 Can we get this $170 knocked out today?
People aged 65+ who received one dose of any updated 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine should receive one additional dose of the vaccine at least four months after the previous updated dose. Call the ACHD at 412-578-8062 to schedule your vaccination appointment.
Also who is this money going to? The goal of transition housing is to pay amount and find housing. A portion if not all of that amount goes back to you for said housing. A studio in Pittsburgh can be 500-700. This is counter productive to the goal or is um tripping today🤷🏽♂️
See people think they slick as hen piss lol cuz whatttt Did you know Second Ave SHELTER 🗣 charges 525+ for rent?! How do you transition out of homelessness that way? Basically it's a low income unit but you have facility rules…how is that okay.
2nd Ave issues Arrest on the homeless Evicting folks Tossing belongings Charging for rent Charging for laundry Discrimination (drugs, mental illness, lgbtqia+) No meals/facility access for all homeless No treatment for all No bathrooms for all Shall I continue? C'mon
Crystal Mason, a Texas woman who was sentenced to 5 years in prison after she tried to cast a provisional ballot in 2016, has been acquitted She has always maintained she had no idea she was ineligible and only tried because her mom urged her to theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…
DC. April 22nd. Outside the Supreme Court. Be there. Join folks from 25 states in DC during the oral arguments of the most important Supreme Court case about homelessness in 40+ years.
🌟ACTION ALERT!🌟 The #JohnsonVGrantsPass case will decide if states and cities can punish people for being homeless. Join us for the #HousingNotHandcuffs Rally🏠✨ Safe housing shouldn't be a fight—it should be recognized as a basic human need. RSVP at johnsonvgrantspass.com/rally
Evashavik and Bigley are arguing that individual board members should not be able to do individual jail visits. They are arguing that the board should make visits as a group. This is insane.
This is actually obscene. Public comments have proven time and time again to push through JOB to action, hold the jail accountable and help specific individuals get better healthcare. 4pm thursday the 4th. Show up and tell the JOB we won’t stand for this.
The new Jail Oversight Board bylaws seek to deeply limit public comment by: Prohibiting people waiting from commenting after 30 minutes of total public comment Limiting what the public may talk about during comment Disallowing the public from reading other’s comments
Beyond limiting the board's investigatory powers, this would take away a crucial resource incarcerated people have to remedy their concerns
Incarcerated people deserve protection. We will continue to fight for them using the power of organizing, litigation, and simply by showing up for each other.
It is unconsciable that the Judge would weaponize information given to her by the jail against her fellow board members and use it to craft bylaws that prioritize the wants of jail administration. MAN E and @bethanyhallam's commitment should be mirrored, not limited.
Proud to be endorsed by the @CBCPAC in my re-election to be PA's first and only Black Congresswoman. As white supremacy continues to rear its ugly head from Donald Trump to Super PACs funded by his donors, I'm committed to building the multiracial democracy that we all deserve.
Definitely tune in to this bylaws meeting for the Jail Oversight Board This is wild youtube.com/live/_B6Zn3ZZI…
Absolutely 100% agree! Retentions don’t make sense to me, it almost guarantees that they’ll stay on the bench as long as they want. They should have to run for full re-election like other elected officials and statewide judicial positions.
Your friendly reminder to vote “no” on retention for every judge every time.
I don't know why President Judge Susan Evashavik DiLucente wants so much to include provisions in the by-laws that violate the law! @BethanyHallam says this would invalidate the entire document.
If you’re on the Jail Oversight Board, and haven’t visited the jail yourself, what the hell are you even on there for?? You cannot be a good advocate for the incarcerated if you don’t know what the fuck is going on. What a joke.
