In this week's email, we're talking about the holidays and deadlines for state programs ... but mostly we're talking holidays! Happy Festivus, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah and plain old Glad Tidings from all of us here in the 154th! https://t.co/vatBtrNdO8

Thanks to all who attended our Senior Fair to connect with local programs and services. Thanks to our vendors and community partners, my staff and volunteers who made the day a success and to Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel for hosting us for 5 years in a row!

I'm no fan of New Jersey, especially their hockey team, but they do have one bright spot - a $15 minimum wage. We could have that, too, plus adult-use cannabis! @PAHouseDems have passed the bills, it's time for the #PASenate to take action.

I sat down with Willette, a 28 year direct support professional, to hear why she decided to move to a different state to make more money in another field, because Pa. has failed to support these life-sustaining jobs. Watch more of Willette's story: https://t.co/fXlmMt07e0

#Juneteenth is more than a day of remembrance of the legacies of those that came before. It's a marching order to continue the fight to end systemic racism and the hope of a brighter future for those yet to come.

For too long a whole generation of workers have been taken advantage of because we have been unable to raise the state’s minimum wage. @PAHouseDems have done our part, #PASenate make it official #RaiseTheWage!
