My Plan for Philly Families outlines research-based strategies to harness our city's greatest assets: the love, strength, and resilience of Philadelphia's working families. You can read the full plan here: bit.ly/BrooksPlan
The POWER Act is now law! Yesterday, @PhillyMayor signed my bill to protect over 750,000 Philly workers from retaliation, wage theft, and other workplace violations. As federal labor enforcement grinds to a halt, Philly is stepping up.
My statement with Minority Whip @NicORourkePHL on yesterday’s violent ICE arrest.
Popsicles for the people!! The workers of @afscme33 are out here in the heat, holding the line for livable wages for working families in our city. You can show your support tomorrow at the rally at City Hall at 3pm. You can donate to the strike fund at afscme33.betterworld.org/campaigns/33-s…

My statement with @NicORourkePHL on the impending strike of @afscme33. #solidarityforever
This is what we're able to accomplish when we put impacted people front and center in the legislative process. We have a new law that holds employers accountable and compensates workers directly when their rights are violated. prospect.org/labor/2025-06-…
Our city is a sanctuary city. My statement on ICE raids and protecting our immigrant neighbors:
Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the country, costing working families billions in stolen wages. Under the POWER Act, Philly workers can hold employers accountable for wage theft and get substantial compensation for their losses. whyy.org/articles/kook-…
As the federal government scales back labor enforcement, working families are losing billions of dollars in stolen wages. The POWER Act empowers local governments to hold employers accountable and win direct financial compensation for workers. inquirer.com/jobs/labor/fed…
We were thrilled to share our new documentary THE CARE TEAM with Philadelphia City Councilmembers and staff. Thank you to @KendraPHL for hosting this screening and calling on your colleagues to fully fund mobile crisis response in Philadelphia.
Less than 24 hours ago, the @PhillyMayor signed the POWER Act into law. Over 750,000 workers across Philly will now have the rights, pay, and protections they deserve on the job. Thank you to our partners and champions, @KendraPHL,@CRSHphilly, and @BlackWorkers215.
