Yesterday The Mayor’s Office conducted another Bi-Weekly Gun Violence Briefing. There are many people in the community who feel that Philadelphia needs additional assistance to fight gun violence namely the National Guard. I have asked The Mayor’s Administration about this idea several times and was told no several times. The people continue to ask me about this solution soooo I asked @phillymayor Again🤷🏽‍♀️ I think he is finally sick of me asking the same question 🤦🏽‍♀️😁 but he honored me with a response 1 last time🙏🏽💜.

Commisoner Outlaw🧑🏽‍✈️ did address my questions about utilizing the State Police instead✊🏾💜
Deputy commissioners Joel Dales and Benjamin Nash also responded to my questions about the up tic in social media gun glorification videos!

Always remember if you have a question you would like me to ask???? Please drop it below or DM me if you need to!

If you have solutions to this Gun Violence Epidemic Join Today this Thursday 02/03 6pm for our Community Meeting To Fight Gun Violence 260 S 51st St Phila, Pa

Thank you to our community partners and volunteers for joining us in our efforts to end gun violence in the city of Philadelphia, @paanphilly and Tierra Graves @bornleader27 of the @freelibraryofwestphilly for providing information on employment leads and trama services. Please stop Shooting each other… ✌🏽

🥾🥾 #BootsOnTheGround

As 2021 wrapped up, one thing was on our minds, and in our hearts: our communities who are hurting, and who need solutions now. We’ve faced down pushback against badly-needed reforms and emergency aid. We’re calling out legislatures in Harrisburg who are refusing to release public money while people are dying. We stand with our representatives in city government who are fighting for fairness and accountability in our justice system.

Purple Queen is royally ready for Good Trouble in the New Year

We stopped by CeaseFirePA and Billy Penn’s “How Jobs Prevent Violence” community conversation.  Many concerned citizens endured the heat and shared their perspective on how Philadelphia needs to invest strategically in workforce development and gun violence prevention. The event was hosted by Layla from @whyy @billy_penn with panelists @siddiqswaterice Soneyet Muhammed & Michael Thorpe. Purple talks to the community members who attended.
