Since 1934, we have believed that poverty shouldn’t prevent access to justice. Everyone, regardless of income, deserves the highest quality legal counsel.
We’re thrilled to announce that @helengymphl is joining the #Phillydefenders Board of Directors! Helen brings decades of invaluable experience as a city leader and social justice advocate, championing immigrant rights, public education, and more.
She’ll be joining Susan Lin and Taylor Pacheco on the board as we continue our mission to provide high-quality legal representation for all. We excited about this powerhouse team and can’t wait to see what we accomplish together! �

Huge thanks to @nicorourkephl for inviting us to table at your event and for always supporting the #phillydefenders!

Love seeing our #Phillydefenders proudly sporting their purple and teal for Suicide Prevention Week.
Philadelphia has a host of great resources to help those facing mental health challenges and contemplating suicide. Swipe if you or someone you know may need help. 💜💚 #PhillyStrong #SuicidePrevention”

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Amanda Cahill, who tragically passed away in custody following the latest Kensington sweep. 🙏🏽
Her death underscores the City’s failure to treat addiction as a public health issue. Philly’s jails are no place for people suffering from serious addiction.
We must prioritize solutions that treat addiction as a medical condition, not a crime. It’s time for real change that protects our most vulnerable. Let’s come together to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.

Check out our #free online tool anyone can use to track police vehicle stops in #Philly. The dashboard uses Philly Police Department data to break down traffic stops by race, the reasons police give for stops, traffic stops by police district, and real data on how increases or decreases in stops correlate with the number of shootings in Philly neighborhoods. Check out the 🔗 in bio!
